Merry Christmas To All



Well, folks, I am actually going to shut down for a few days. Your comments will be displayed but there will be a few days without new posts. They will be my first days without a post since mid February so I feel a bit like Forrest Gump near the end of the movie when he is in the running mode, back and forth across America and he finally turns around and speaks to the hundreds that are following him, saying ... "I'm pretty tired, ... I think I'll go home now."

Well, I am not quittin'. I hope to do this for the rest of my life ... but I think I will spend some time chillin' for a few days. I thank you all for your kind wishes at this season. I hope you all have a blessed Christmas with your families. May God bless you all with His mercy and grace. Wise men still seek Him today.

Catch you in a few days.

Stephen,
I've been visiting your blog over the last couple of days and I've enjoyed your images very much. It is always interesting to see how someone else views the world, what they find interesting and what aspects they choose to show others.

I view photographs with the eyes of a painter. I see new colour schemes, different compositions and ideas for texture. Different images stand out for different reasons. Then there's always images that are just plain achingly beautiful.

I look forward to more posts in the new year. Have a joyous season.
Margaret

May our God grant you a season of rest and restoration of spirit. And when you pull the camera to your eye again, may you see with His eye and reveal Him to us once more.
Blessings always,
