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.

Happy weekend.
Very nice picture, but cold...;-D
Spring has a lot to do if it is starting from here!

Pretty, charming, delicate.
Nice shot and I already have many signs of Spring.
Don't foreget the clock on Sunday!
This is so gorgeous! We just got another blizzard yesterday. I really do hope spring's just around the corner now!
Beautiful, tender farewell from winter!
There's the grey clouds above, the white snow bellow, and the everlasting trees in the middle, dominating the winter scene.
Love it.
This is a beautiful winter shot, Dimple. If winter always looked like this, and if I didn't have to drive in it, I'd love it.

I see why you like the shot. The pattern of needles against the sky really appeals to me.
This would make a lovely Christmas card.
I wish I could have had so much snow to have to say goodbye to . . . I still will be posting from our one 24 hour period of snow when it snowed and stopped and started again a few hours later. At least I can enjoy it thru photos again. Hope we have more snow next winter. I am looking forward to Spring now tho. YOUR photo is a beautiful memory!
Hello Dimple! :)
What a very lovely picture! I'm sorry for not having been to visit you so often lately..
I hope you're doing fine.. Now we're looking forward to Spring.... :))
Have a nice Sunday! :)
a lovely photo...still snow here too!
Lovely scene--evey branch, cloud, and shadow is in just the right spot to make it a perfect photo. Mickie
This is so lovely in monochrome!
I like this shot too, Dimple. But soon, there will be lots of color springing forth.
Oh, Dimple! Does this mean you will get no more snow until next winter? Lucky you...if it happens that way. :)
J'aime particulièrement cette photo, bravo
I love the perspective in this photo! Gorgeous..
