I am no photographer, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy "seeing what I can see" with a simple digital camera--trying to put a little frame around a corner of God's creation that normally goes unnoticed. Doing this really caught on during my trip to Europe last summer. Lately, I've been spending a lot of time in the early mornings in the monastery rock garden -- getting up close and personal. Sometimes, I am splendidly surprised. This butterfly showed up out of nowhere, and I prayed for it to remain still long enough for me to get a good shot off. Its juxtaposition with the globe in the background is mere happenstance. I just love this photo. It makes me want to sing lines from Psalm 104:
Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are,
clothed in majesty and glory,
wrapped in light as in a robe!
How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your riches.
Dear Brother Francis.
ReplyDeleteThis picture is just beautiful. I got to think of it at the moment my flight took off for a recent vacation in Scotland.
Thank you for enjoying "seeing what you can see" with that camera of yours. It gives pleasure to your readers.

Thank you, Tulle.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed it. The butterfly showed up at the right place and at the right time. A little moment of grace.
