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.
What a beautiful photo, Dimple. I have always enjoyed the word "salsify" but wasn't sure what it meant. Then I realized it was a plant, but didn't know anything more than that. Now I've looked it up, which I might never have done if you hadn't posted this picture. Thanks! I learned something new today. -- K

Such a wisp of a plant! Salsify? I've never heard of this plant, the word salsify, either. Thanks for the tip-off and I hope your weekend is going well, Louise! Hugs, Becky

What a beautiful picture! I love black and whites ... maybe this sounds weird, but I tend to notice more in a black and white pic.
Beautiful and delicate - exquisite in B&W.
I don't think I have ever seen this plant. It is beautiful. I would like to see it in bloom. Does it have flowers and what kind of leaves?
As always wonderful photo.

Excellent composition I like the contrast of tones and textures. It's like a beautiful abstract language, greetings.
So lovely. It's a new thing for me. Perfect in black and white :)

Fantastic capture! I love delicate plants like this! I recently captured one in our snow. . . YES, we finally got a little.
That is a beautiful photo--what great shots you take. Mickie:)
delicate and lovely...I've never seen this plant before. it is quite elegant as a black and white.
Dimple, this is gorgeous! The way you've caught the delicacy of the seed-heads is just perfect!
Hi Dimple. This is a powerful composition of a simple subject. Then again, maybe there are no simple subjects, only our perceptions.
I really like the dynamics (not to mention the tonality) of this image.
what an awesome shot, really like the B&W
Lovely and perfect for a study in B & W.
Is it just me, or do they look like jellyfish? Especially with the B&W treatment...
Looks so downy and soft!! I love this photo.

Nice shot...looks so soft and flowing.
very beatyful..;-D
Extremely pretty. Makes me think of jellyfish!
Now is this the same salsify that we eat the roots of?
Wonderful shot, Dimple!
So pretty and delicate. It reminds me of the old Flower Fairies books my grandmother used to give me when I was little!
You did a beautiful job on this one!
What cool seeds!

Saw this on the Weekend in Black and White wall and was immediately drawn to it.
