In God's green pastures feeding, by His cool waters lie, Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I; All the sheep of His pasture fare so wondrously fine, His sheep am I. Waters cool, [in the valley] pastures green, [on the mountain] In the evening walk my Lord and I; Dark the night, [in the valley,] rough the way, [on the mountain,] Step by step, [step by step,] my Lord and I.
Well,this image just bubbled forth that song right out of my spirt. That's the beauty of God's creation... it brings forth song in me. Every picture has a story. Thanks Steve :)
i know the song. well. my father was a bible conference speaker, pastor for two decades, a teacher at moody bible institute, director of a mission to israel, and director of usa church planting mission. i think about many things when i photograph. i could have said a hundred things with this photo. instead i DO prefer to be quiet other than a quick name. that's how i learn what others are thinking. i don't fill their heads with my ideas so as to cloud what they see from their histories. i can hear that song being sung. the guy parts and the gal parts. i would have never thought of that. but when you said this it reminded me of seeing my dad speaking at winona lake bible conference in indiana. i was 12. it was fun to be 12 for a few seconds. nikonsniper steve
"12 ..for a few seconds".....:) glad I could take you back to your childhood. It appears we do have similar backgrounds. I am a PK. Dad went to Bible school when I was 8 days old. He was my pastor until I married and moved away - He even officiated the marriage. :) And now, he's 83 and I'm his 24/7 caregiver/pastor. Thanks for sharing, Steve. I liked knowing all of that. :) It just proves to me what I said in an earlier post, "YOU ARE A CAMERA IN THE HANDS OF GOD". I knew this without knowing you! I find that interesting.
Hi, I have been following your blog even though I may not comment too often. Your pictures are just wonderful. I love the sheep picture, the expression on his/her face is priceless. Wishing you a Happy Holiday season. Sunny :)
what a sweet photo......and such sweet little sheep!! i so enjoyed reading your "welcome to nikonsniper". i received a nikon D40 for my 50th birthday this year....i still have a lot to learn about it, but i absolutely love it!! thanks for stopping by my blog!! :))
sunny, i know you follow ... and i think you actually comment more than most. i am glad you enjoy some of these photos. i try to keep a fair mix of stuff going so that maybe one a day has a shot of being cool for everyone. i hope you have a great christmas season and an even better new year. we need one as a nation soon! all the best. nikonsniper steve

Cute!
remember that hymn,
"His Sheep am I"
In God's green pastures feeding, by His cool waters lie,
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I;
All the sheep of His pasture fare so wondrously fine,
His sheep am I.
Waters cool, [in the valley] pastures green, [on the mountain]
In the evening walk my Lord and I;
Dark the night, [in the valley,] rough the way, [on the mountain,]
Step by step, [step by step,] my Lord and I.

Take a little off the sides and ...... aw heck, take a little off everywhere.

Sheered sheep... comedy. They look so funny, like a wet cat.
Thanks for the smile. Love your photos, all of them.
