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.

Had the kids to the beach today, right beside the canoe club. There were tons of youngsters learning to paddle -- both kayaks and canoes.
Beautiful progression of photos. I love the way you've captured the sense of motion in the last one.

Looks familiar...I did the same thing tonight. can't think of a better way to unwind :)
Was it an impulse or something more Dimple? Your instincts must have told you that you'd find some neat images down that road. I really like the patterns and reflections in the last shot.
Grilled stickies. Yep, slice a fat sticky bun in half, slather with butter and plop on the grill. Decadent stuff. I haven't had one in years.
What a great way to spend a little down time. Lovely captures. Have a great week-end.
Nothing quite like an evening paddle. Great shots!
Looks so beautiful and peaceful AND fun. I love kayaking.
Great photos...love the reflections! Soooo peaceful looking!
I so agree an event like this don't happened everyday. And looks like he is also in a hurry to get away from you. JOKE!! ^_^ Happy weekend!

Looks like the paddler was nearly at the shore!
Paddling amid beautiful reflections - lovely!
What a lovely place! Beautiful shots.
The little red kayak almost gets lost in all of nature's blue and green. Almost. Cool shot.
I'm going to need to find out where I can go kayaking - I remember it being so much fun!
Ah, it`s a great way to spend time in nature. Great photos of the paddle.
Happy week:-)
Goes to tell you no "turn" is ever wasted! Even if you hadn't seen the kayaker, it is still a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing!
Bliss. I am aching to get back out on the water when I get to New England next month.
