As I was editing these pictures over the weekend, it hit me … one of the reasons I love photography so much is because it has forced me to look at the world with a whole new perspective and appreciation. Over time my eyes have become trained to see things differently and I constantly find myself wondering if even the ordinary would make a good picture.
Take these dandelions for example. I bet there aren’t very many of us who rejoice when we see dandelions cropping in our yards. I know I don’t. But when my daughter brought me a perfect, fluffy dandelion I wondered what it would look like through the “eyes” of my camera lens.
I took these with my macro lens and am in awe with how intricately designed this weed is. It’s a weed – something very few of us can admit to appreciating – and yet it’s amazingly detailed and perfect.
I’m still not in love with the dandelion, as a whole … but … WOW! I am in love with the intricacy, delicacy, detail and design.
If God put so much thought and detail into creating a weed … how much more thought and detail did he put into creating me?
Just a thought…

ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic - I would love to know how you took, them, that is if you don't mind sharing? What texture, and detail you have. Really inspiring thought to look at the beauty in something that we might see as annoying! Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amen -- God did put so much detail into nature... who are we to think that he didn't put more detail into us and care even more for us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots -- I especially like the ones with the blue! :)
