Meditations of My Heart--
Photos and Thoughts on Life
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.
Beautiful picture -- those old memories are precious~ I have to go visit my kids now to see those old dishes and other memories -- they've already been passed down!
Hi Louise ! I hope everything is fine on your side of the ocean...
By the way, I saw the comment you let on the Defifoto blog... I shall tell you that it is not my personal blog, but a collective one, where all the authors publish a picture by month for a theme we choose all together every begining of the month... ;)
Thank you SO much for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #51… I’m sorry that I am very late coming by to visit your entry. But I have been fighting being sick all week, trying to fend off a virus and haven’t been doing much besides working and sleeping.. I do hope you’ll forgive me and come by tomorrow to share on Weekly Top Shot’s 1st Anniversary!

I love glassware, and this looks beautiful. I like the way the scalloped edge catches the light.
Looks kike a shell:)

Made me think about the many times it was used with family around.
Please have a good weekend.

Elegant dish nicely captured!
Olf glass work was really nicer that what we find those days "made in china"...
Makes you want to put things in the dishes.
'Nice' is an understatement. Maybe 'exquisite' is a better word.Your grandma's dish has a special beauty and fine shape.
Good job with lighting!

Ooooh! I have some glassware similar to that from my Mother's possessions
Very pretty!
Don't you love using a dish that she handled, served on, and cared for. It's like a little connection over time.
Oh this is beautiful Dimple and very special indeed.
