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.

Summer Sky


Summer is almost over, but the trees are still in their summer clothes.
I love fall, but I am willing to wait!

Sunset "Volcano" Clouds


When my children were young, they called these
volcano clouds.


I suppose it was because the clouds looked hot
And molten


It is a wonderful reminder of my children
When I see a volcano cloud sunset

March Sky-The Lion is Coming!

What can I say? March was mild. Unseasonably mild. This was the sky on the 30th at my house. Two days later winter made a come-back, and is still trying to make everyone believe that the March weather was a dream.

Perfect Sky, Perfect Reflection

Last Sunday was gorgeous. I was the passenger and was able to snap these as we crossed a bridge.
Perfectly calm, just a few clouds.
 
Perfect for Skywatch Friday, Looking at the Sky on Friday, and Weekend Reflections. I hope everyone has a great week!

Monochrome Summer Sky


Lake Koocanusa, Montana
July 2009
I've been experimenting with monochrome--all you monochrome fanatics out there, especially John at The Aware Writer, have inspired me. I filtered this with a kind of dark yellow-tan in Picasa, and cropped it a little.

This is for Skywatch Friday Looking at the Sky on Friday, and Monochrome Weekly. Follow the links to see more great photos!

Scenic Sky, Shadows and Reflection


Wednesday was a wonderful, sunny day. I was thankful, as the light helped lift my mood. I had to keep an appointment and run a few errands, so I decided to use the route that took me past this place. It was a good decision! This view is my contribution for Skywatch Friday, Looking at the Sky on Friday, Weekend Reflections, Shadow Shot Sunday, and Scenic Sunday.
