Meditations of My Heart: December 2011

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.

Look at the Light

Photography is all about light. These were taken on a light-filled day. I hope you enjoy them!

Christmas Sunrise

My sister-in-law, who lives nearby, called me Christmas morning. She said I had to take a picture of the sunrise.

She was right.

Remember?

Or maybe you don't need to! Maybe you can still enjoy these in reality!

They were in a display at a store last October,

begging to have their picture taken!

The Weekend in Black and White

As I was preparing this shot, I found a tiny reflection, too.

Do you see it?

And just because I haven't participated in a while, this is also for

Shadow Shot Sunday.

Good week to everyone!

Black and White Reflection

I had to take some time from everything else and share a photo.

This is a seasonal creek on our property, up on the hill.

I walk to it now and then.

I was up there with Ginger recently, and found a little water running.

This is a very small pool, but not much water is needed to make a fine reflection!
