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.

A MAN WHO LOOKED UP AT THE SKY
A man who looked up at the sky
Saw ravens and clouds flying by.
He had to look up,
The sky filled his cup—
He’s my kind of sky-watching guy!

Beautiful photo, Dimple, and wonderful observations about from where it came....
Stunning light in that sky Dimple!
Absolutely stunning. Very well done. Happy skywatching.
beautiful. I like the few taller treetops peeking up as a silhouette.
Fantastic sky! Great shot.
Kind of a nice mood to this pic.
I love this skyscape.
By the way what is the deal with anonymous comments? I get very few of them. I know others have said they have had their work stolen, too.
For 3 years I have only received 3 span and it was in foreign language. When I translated with Google it was also porn.
