Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
Credit Where It Is Due
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.
Even though I'm SO tired of winter, I have to admit there's few things lovelier than soft, snowy shadows! You've captured them so well, Dimple! Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
Winter is a lovely season - in view if not in feel. The soft pine branches droop as they carry the heavier snow. Soft is the perfect description in subject and shadow!
Nice idea to use the grasshoppers for fish bait. But that would require me having to touch them. With my bare hands. And then fish. Neither of those things I do well at :)
The shadow of your smile - is the opening line of a famous, popular song. Let's hope someone will compose someday a song about the shadow of the... snow. It looks soft indeed.

O, that looks downright cold! But fresh snow is such a beautiful thing to look at.
As always wonderful. If I ever get a camera I will have to come to you for photography lessons.
Such a pretty scene, and soft shadows. A lovely photo.
Such quiet beauty! Lovely shot.
This is nice, Dimple. I love the snow weighing down the branches and the subtle shadows beneath.
Gorgeous shadow shot!

I see that the snow lies heavy in you forests. As the say - nothing is a silent as now.
What a lovely winter landscape!
Very lovely!
I am sick of winter, but your photos of snow always make me see it in a new light!
