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 in the Forest

Earlier this month, on one of my walks, the light was glorious. New growth was visible everywhere. Here are some of the sights for you:

Bubbles Within

Bubbles in a water drop,

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!

Nestling

A pair of robins made their home in a lilac bush conveniently near my home this summer. I had to be very careful about getting a photo: Mama was nervous and shy. But this nestling cooperated admirably!

Introducing My Mailbox Spider

This spider has been living here lately.

It is huge!

It hides under the mailbox a lot, but today it was on its web.

I don't know what kind of spider it is; I am not a student of creepy-crawlies. But I am impressed!

Update 9 Sep 2013: I think it might be a variety of star-bellied spider, based on the pics found here:
