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.

Very true, realistic reflection of sun and clouds in the still water.
Indeed , in November the clouds dominate the sky and the sun hides shyly behind them.
The still water looks like sky at first glance. It's like seeing the beauty of the Creator just beyond the beauty of His creation, such as the leaves and intricate tree branches. We see Him dimly, but one day we will see him fully and face to face! Imagine the astounding beauty that we'll see then. I just love this image!
