Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Oh, super! I love the way the reflection is cut in half by the land, and wrinkled by the movement of the water.

Love this shot, it is so wintry looking!
A stunning shot with a bonus: pure reflection. Thanks for sharing it today. I always love to come here to see what you've done with your camera...
This is really a nice shot, Dimple...
Simple, quite, peaceful...
Water reflections are really beautiful.
It sure does look like late fall in Iowa! The reflection is very nice, Dimple.
Neat capture, almost monochromatic.
Oh you sure do have the three memes covered with this shot :) I like it. I also like your hobbit name, "Dimple", so cute!
A chilled but stunningly beautiful scene! Love the silvered tones!
Love the silvery light and reflections!
Wow i like the way the shot is...Happy SOOC Sunday.
Mine is here
Wow ...nice SOOC
Very neat photo . I was looking for an edge of ice around the edges, but too early for that I guess.
Nice capture! I can feel the winter coming on.
No real mirror could render such a reflection as the water in your picture. The piece of land dividing between the real trees and their reflection in the water does a good job.
Awsome shot, Dimple!
Beautiful gray and reflections, I like it.
How beautiful. Who knew you could take a grey wintry day and make it look so amazing!!
beautiful
