Today I give thanks for photography. It helps to see the world in new ways, with new perspectives. It is a blessing from the Lord of Love.
My phone image of a stream under a bridge is to the left. The phone image on the right is from my friend’s phone. Please scroll below…
The following image is from my camera. Obviously, this led to much discussion. … keep scrolling …
May you find a blessing that makes life better for you.
I hear talk and read articles repeatedly lately about the importance of looking ahead, keeping your eye on the future, moving forward, etc. That can be good advice in some cases. However, I like to eat tasty food and take remarkable photos. For both photography and the harvesting of most of our foods, it’s important to look all around.
In photography, you may be concentrating on the gorgeous scene before your eyes and taking photos, but you might be startled by the beauty that lies behind you as well. If you are only looking forward, you miss the opportunity behind you.
In harvesting apples, one usually returns to each tree three times. Fruit on a tree ripens top down and outside in. If you only pick once, you’ll have ripe fruit, semi-ripe fruit, and not even remotely edible fruit. If you pick from the top and down the first time, you’ll get the most delicious fruit. If you go back to that tree and pick what remains on the outside, you’ll again enjoy delicious treats. Lastly, if you go back a third time, you will be able to pick what remains inside and know the fabulous taste of worthwhile labor.
Looking ahead is good, but looking all around is unequivocably delicious, and most photographers have documented proof.
A friend said that if I’m going to continue writing this blog, which has not been easy to do daily, I really need to include a photo each and every day. Since photography is one of my preferred activities, I was glad to hear it.
This is an image of an adorable plastic egg I bought at Dollar Tree in a packet of three. When a bunch of chicks were coming over, I put them together with a cute statement about chick friends with some chocolates. Everyone got one. Even me!
