I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jeremiah 6:16
A room hung without pictures is a room hung without thoughts. Sir Joshua Reynolds
This is my online room where I will hang my pictures as I attempt to sharpen my skills in photography. The inspiration for this venture is derived from my daughter Olivia who has been taking pictures as long as I can remember.
My interest in photography has been raised as a result of taking students to the local wildlife refuge in my capacity as a school bus driver. I started to make personal trips out to the wildlife refuge and began to pay closer attention to the wildlife all around us. After watching, mostly birds, through binoculars I purchased a digital camera to document my sightings. My youngest daughter Lydia and I have attended the last two migration celebrations held in the spring at the local refuges. We have found them to be quite fun and educational. So I am off taking pictures. I do not fish and I do not golf. In fact I don't really want to fish or golf. I think I may enjoy photography and if so it should provide a nice diverson from some of the more serious things I do every week.
So....as I try to slowly get a handle on things like apeture, focal length, shutter speed, lighting, and various other things that are hard to remember I will just take pictures and post some of them here. Most of my education will probably be by trial and error.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
