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.

There's nothing like the sproinging of spring.
Nice shots! Love all of them :)
I love your mosaic and your haiku! Charming!

A wonderful picture pile of spring colours!
They are pretty cool. Happy MYM!

Wonderful Spring selection!! I miss crocuses. It's summer here already.
Spring is just wonderful! All the colors you've captured brighten the landscape.
Pretty findings!
Beautiful photos!
Have a fabulous week!

Lovely signs of spring.
It looks like Spring is visiting your area - beautiful! :D
You have an abundance of spring wildflowers that are never seen in the desert. I remember them well, from my days of living in the Northeast. Thanks for the memories.
SPLASH OF YELLOW
Splash of yellow,
Dash of gold,
Make me mellow,
Never old;
Keep my humor
In fine trim,
Always laughing,
Never grim.

A lovely Spring walk! I am head over heels in love with wild flowers.....now to get to know all of their names.
Storms are headed my way. April showers for May flowers I hope.
Thanks for the mosaic.

What a beautiful spring walk. I'm just glad it stopped snowing here, and I hope it stays stopped, but I can look at your blog and take a spring walk right here in my chair!

Gorgeous!
Would be happy to have you visit the Mellow yellow at my page, thanks!
Modest, quiet type of early spring flowers and other new life are emerging, which shows promise more sunshine, warmth, and colors. Lovely mosaic!
An awakening it is...of our sense of wonder at the burst of new life. Beautiful images of spring.

The new growth is wonderful, and the mere Spring sprouts give us a feeling so invigorated, so ready for warmth. Nice captures of new life!
Gorgeous images of Spring!
Loved reading about yr most harrowing journey over at my place!Love yr blog too!
XOXO Lola:)
Oh, such beautiful little chippers emerging from the ground!! I can only hope that ours will come soon.
how did you do that? photograph your prints? or use a computer template to compose everything inside a frame?
A nice spring walk I wish I could duplicate. My allergies are so bad this year I am wearing a mask when IJ leave the house. It is the wind ad the pollen it stirs up.
I want to come walk in your area, you have much more interesting subjects! Very nice collage.
i like all of your photo...
A delightful montage, and an excellent haiku. Thanks for these. I particularly like the metre of the haiku.
All the best, Boonie
Beautiful collage representing the birth of Spring!
Lovely spring flowers!
the purple flowers are my favorite but every shot is magical
Your world is awesome!!! Or maybe, I just love nature that much! I love your photos! :)
Rcel with Our WORLD of Wintry Spring entry!
All your photos are lovely but the crocus and the fir cone pictures really stand out.
We seem to have plunged into summer....... judging by our high temperatures. Very strange for April, but who's complaining!

Easter Songs
Thanks for visiting with me yesterday, and hope your day is super.
Lovely collage of spring pictures. Great haiku too. Have a wonderful Easter weekend. Mickie :)
I think I would like to come walking with you!
It appears you have some gorgeous ground to cover........
But how far would we get with both of us stopping to gawk at every little thing and take photos???
;-)
Excellent photos and loved the collage look!
Thanks, It's fun "playing around" with Picasa. The only problem is that when I get a result I like, I have "forgotten" all the steps I went through to get it, thus, I can't duplicate it. I guess I just need to write everything down anymore (old age, yu gotta love it!!!!). Mickie :)
True. In spring one sees "new life emerging..." and it's thrilling and beautiful. All of it: the colours, the smells, the murmur of the waters.
I wish you many, many spring walks, Dimple!
Thank you so much for submitting your photo to A Sunday Best, Dimple. Just lovely. Must have been a most pleasurable walk. :)
What a wonderful glimpse of your spring! I love the poem and the pictures both.
