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.

Tree Frog



This little guy was on the outside of our backdoor window a while back. My husband spotted him, and I grabbed the camera! It's not often you get to see the underside of these cool creatures.

For other Camera Critters, go here.

Mystery Bench


This bench is in an unusual place; I don't think anyone would want to sit on it!


Interesting...nice iron work, but one of the slats on the back is missing...definitely not a bus stop or taxi stand-it's facing the wrong way...I wonder what's going on?


Oh, I see! It's a signboard! I hope the artist had lots of visitors!

To see more benches, visit Visual Norway. The link is in the sidebar.
