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.

Spring for Ruby Tuesday


I have been searching for signs of spring. We have had an open winter with little snow and mild temperatures, but it is winter, and I'm ready for spring. My snowdrops aren't up yet, the buds on the trees are still closed. Sigh.

Well, these little red knobs are a sure sign that spring is nearly here! They are rhubarb sprouts, peeking out to see if it's time to grow. I spotted them yesterday as I was returning from my walk. In May they will look like this:

The stems get really long, and the leaves are huge.  They are beautiful plants.
