As the Lily Among Thorns

In case you've ever wondered, picking an appropriate verse for my inspirational photos is always a difficult task. I thought I'd decided on John 10:28 as the theme verse for this shot, but reading the text of the above passage made me change my mind very quickly. I hope you like this final version.

When Lightning Strikes

I went on a short walk through our woods today and came across this tree that had apparently been struck by lightning. From the looks of the "stump" in the upper-left corner, I don't see how anything but lightning could've caused it to fall.

And You Hath He Quickened

I was outside early this afternoon, and this leaf really caught my eye. In comparison with the other leaves around, it was enormous in size; yet what made it stand out in this photo was not its size, but its color. In light of this, I have to say this may be my favorite fall photo I've taken so far this year.

As Rivers of Water in a Dry Place

Hiking through the mountains after heavy rains, all of the water collected in this creek bed and flowed beautifully through the forest. It lasted for more than a mile, and all along the way you could see smaller streams flowing over the rocks and through the leaves, eventually making their way here, joining together, and forming this most beautiful piece of scenery.

Wings of Eagles

Here's a look at my newest inspirational photo. I love this picture because it shows some of the beautiful rocks, landscape, and wildlife that our God created. The Scripture from Isaiah adds a different feel to the shot, and gives a somewhat majestic tone to the picture as a whole, in my opinion.
