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 New Leaf

I am ready for spring.
Apparently, I am not the only one!

Water

A short video of a stream near my home.
Please ignore the sound of the camera focusing.

Bubbles Within

Bubbles in a water drop,
or 
Bubbles in an ice drop.

It was cold enough for the water to have frozen, and
I have never seen bubbles like this in a drop of liquid water, but
My experience is limited.

God's creation is amazing!
