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.
Wow...this is a really cool ShadowShot. What I call skunk cabbage isn't anything like this. Ours has furry-like flat green leaves. (Seems we were very confused back east!hehe.) Yes,this year in Sandpoint! (A play on the Jewish 'this year in Jerusalem'.) Happy Easter.
Even in shadow, where there is no light, One may take comfort and one may delight That darkness has lost its power to thrall Those who are living on this earthly ball.
I was in awe of this shot the moment I saw it, and then I got distracted by Molly. What fun!!! She is adorable and now I'm wanting her. back to the skunk cabbage. I love the color of it anyway, but you've turned it into a work of art. Love it! happy SSS, and I hope you have a great week.
It looks to me like you have both shadows and reflections here. These are the most amazing shots. I have never heard of a skunk cabbage, but I think it is one neat plant.
Skunk cabbage. Ah, yes! I remember seeing skunk cabbage when I was growing up in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia (north of the Okanogan Valley in Washington). It could certainly smell skunky, but it makes a lovely photograph. Good eye, Dimple! -- K

At first, I thought the one on the left was a big fat caterpillar! HA!
I actually saw skunk cabbage mentioned on another blog the other day, but I already knew what it was because you educated me a little while back..... ;-)

Peace

EVEN IN SHADOW
Even in shadow, where there is no light,

Oh, wow! This is quite beautiful, despite it's name. I'm glad you provided both the close up and the shot for context.
I absolutely love this shot. I am a big fan of things that grow in the bush. This is beautiful thank you for sharing. B
Fantastic light in these images!
Wow! Lovely shot! I love the reflections/ shadow of the steam.
Really interesting with some nice tones, like an abstract. Greetings and good week.
So other-worldly!
The reflected light gives an interesting twist to the subject.
