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.

A terrific shot of an odd find in the woods!
That certainly IS an adventure! Never a dull moment if you keep your eyes open!
I'm JUST finally getting a post together to thank you for the award--I'm a little behind these days!
Have a great weekend!
I've often seen those things get away from birthday children, and I guess your find proves "what goes up must come down"!

This would have been really jarring to see were it pink!
You've turned an intrusive event into a work of art - excellent!
You never know what you'll find in the woods Dimple. LOL
I can hardly imagine how stressful this adventure was for the balloon)). I am glad it happy-ended.
