Matthew 11:25 – Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom. Every nature photographer has to be aware of many of the “mysteries of the Kingdom,” in my not-so-humble opinion. Every time we walk outside we’re surrounded by so many mysteries and many […]
Psalm 12:6 – Lord, your mercy is my hope, my heart rejoices in your saving power. I will sing to the Lord for his goodness to me. Today turned out to be pretty much what the weather forecasters predicted…all day snow, a foot or better around my house. When I mentioned to Lucia that I […]
Psalm 12:6 –Blessed are they who hope in the Lord. This is going to be short and sweet because it’s been a long day and it’s very late as I write this. This is the first day since I began this journey that I absolutely could not find time during the day to capture my […]
Psalm 23 – The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. This single verse from the 23rd Psalm is one of the best known verses in the bible, I’d bet. But, just because it’s well known, even familiar, doesn’t diminish its value and impact. I think the same thing can be true […]
Matthew 16:18 – You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church … You’d think after reading this verse, I would have tried to find a rock, or even a pile or rocks, to photograph. Nope. Not me. Instead, I sought out something a little different. Trees. Somehow or another, trees seem […]
John 15:16 – You have not chosen me; I have chosen you. . This is a good selection to keep in mind when we’re tempted to thrown in the towel on our daily challenges. For example, trying to cram in a photo shoot during an otherwise already busy day has proven to be pretty common […]
Periodically, I like to remind regular readers and bring new readers up to date on just what this “Journey” is all about. I started my nature photography journey with Jesus on Christmas Day last year. At the time I made a commitment to myself that entailed capturing at least one photograph each day between Christmas […]
Psalm 9:2-3 I will tell of your marvelous works. I will rejoice and be glad in you, and sing to your name, Most High. What does a nature photographer do when Mother Nature throws a nasty winter storm at him the day after an unusually warm February day? He seeks a venue to capture a […]
Psalm 30:3-4 Lord, be my rock of safety, the stronghold that saves me. For the honor of your name, lead me and guide me. “For the honor of your name, lead me and guide me.” That’s my daily prayer for this journey from now on. It’s really been the essence of my thinking each of […]
Psalm 30:3 Lord, be my rock of safety, the stronghold that saves me. More than once on this journey I’ve started thinking that this might be the day that I don’t get my image. The thought pops up when I’ve had a busy day and not gotten to the task early in the day before […]
