Photography for me began as a quest to understand the world around me. Now as a more mature man I still use photography to express what I see and it is still a wonderful quest. The creation is still a wonder to me, but I no longer wonder what life is all about. Life is about Jesus and life is to glorify God. I walked in the park tonight after sundown. It was cold and the walk was brisk and refreshing. It is amazing to me what can be seen in a short walk.
The Mallards quacked and hurriedly swam towards me. Oops I forgot to bring bread, again.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
In the still of the second pond, distant trees are reflected and tall grass is silhouetted against the dim light. So quiet and so reflective in the spirit as I watched. God lives.
Psa 92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Psa 92:8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
Psa 92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Psa 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Psa 92:11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
Psa 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psa 92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Psa 92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Psa 92:15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The dim light muted the bright yellow leaves. The shadows gave witness to the cool light after sundown.
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

The giant oaks behind the pool hug in the last glow of light.

What is this picture taken from the car on the way home? It is civilization, a person's idea of the Christmas season. Hmmm? What is Christmas about? I see Santa, reindeers, toys, bright lights, candy canes; Frosty the snowman too. A childs view of Christmas. Where is Jesus? God bless this home and may God be close in this season for all to enjoy. You and I are to tell the rest of the story.
