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! I agree with every word in this little poem.
Snow is what the environment needs.
As we see in the picture, snow acts as a blanket insulating the soil; when it melts it replenishes water supply. Snow also enables winter outdoor sports that bring a lot of fun and happiness to people.
Lovely poem, Dimple...so is the photo!
More than a year that i saw snow back home. thank you for the memories. please have a good friday.
beautiful!
I love SNOW. Maybe it is because at my age I can chose to play in it, or simply watch it from a window, take a photo or two, or simply enjoy a good nap
Good morning Dimple.
Beautiful picture you show.
Tonight we have approx. 5 cm of snow, most snow we got this winter.
There are flu epidemic in Denmark, Valter (my husband) and I have it.
Hope you are well.
Wishing you a good weekend.
Hugs Hanne Bente ♥
I love snow too. Not a single snowflake here so far...
Thanks for sharing your snow with snowless Paulie. At least it stopped raining for a predicted two or three days.
It is lovely! And it's true, we have no winter. Kayaking on a river or hiking in a swamp can be quiet though
This is so lovely...I have to admit...I still get excited every time new snow falls, like a child. And yes, I too enjoy the quiet it enfolds us in.
It's a lovely photo, and so peaceful.
Lovely! Best wishes!
