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.

Amazing shot. Who knew grass could be so pretty? :)
Getting the focus right can be very problematic -- said he, who just tried to take pictures of an active bee.
Thanks for your lovely comment. You can also join my memories with photos from your children. Aren´t that not also memories? Yes they are. I will be glad to see you again. LG Tina
Wow. This is beautiful! Thank you for reminding me to always take a closer look.
You know much more than I do about it, I've never heard of pistils :) Nice shot.
Perfect focus Dimple, and great DOF! Well done.
Lovely shot Dimple. It has a Zen quality of simplicity and peace. The colors seem just right to me. Amazing what you can do with simple equipment.
what simply beautiful detail here!! Lovely!
Grass is really difficult to photograph - it has been driving me crazy!
Great shot!
Beautiul detail in your special image!
Great macro, Dimple!
We tend to overlook the flowering of grasses.
Unless one has hayfever I suppose :-)
Good to see it so close-up for a change.
Never knew grass could flower. Great shot!
Wonderful photo. A sight seldom captured by the naked and unseeing eye.

Nice Capture, Dimple! Every flower has its own beauty, and grass whose name is unknown, too.
I've been unable to post a comment with my Google Account to some people including you, so I'll do with URL and name.
Hmmmmm, I haven't been this close to flora in weeks! Busy with activities...gotta get back outdoors to the fields and grasslands...
Who would ever have thought we'd be taking pictures of "grass"!! But it just goes to show "anything" can be artistic and beautiful. Nice shot. Mickie :)
Lovely image, great composition!
It's a lovely macro, Dimple... and I can relate to being pleasantly surprised when a shot turns out particularly beautiful.
This is an absolutely gorgeous photo!! You should stand up and take a bow. I thank you for your supportive comment on my Cape Breton blog. I hope to return to blogging soon! ~karen
Great macro!
I am just taking a break from blogging because I have several projects to complete before the end of the month. One day , again!
the simplicity is beautiful.
Its a lovely looking grass.
The very humblest of plants can make a really lovely photo.

Very nice shot. I posted some grasses last year. I noticed grass burrs are already sprouting their thorny little heads, too.
