I love light. Maybe it’s the photographer in me, maybe the Jesus in me, maybe both. I just know I love to watch the way sunlight plays in the evenings. I love the warmth of the sun at that time of day. I’m not a morning person but I know if I was I’d love the morning light too.
Last night I took my camera outside to play with my new lens. It was one of those warm spring evenings where the sun still cast long shadows across our yard as it was disappearing behind the trees.
These pictures of my daughter’s chalk box made me think of God. And it made me think of myself. I’m amazed at how beautiful the colors are inside of us even though they are contained in broken vessels. When we accept Christ he gives us a new heart (a beautiful sparky colorful one). I can rest in knowing my heart is good. But only because it was given to me by Him.
Hoping you can rest in Him today

So here’s 5/6 of our family or 2/3 if you count our dog Sparky who was there but also "not pictured"
This was my first subject. I played with the lightening for a while and settled on this with my tripod as my knees.
Then the corner of the frame on the wall looked interested. And yep, it still looks cool.
This is my favorite shot. My bible on top of my husband’s bible. So much right there in that photo….so much!!
As you can see mine is held together with a nice array of packing tape. It does the trick! Much love in it the 13 years I’ve owned it. It was a precious gift to me from my best friend.
I had moved into the office and closer to the computer by this time. Here lies today’s jewelry, a little of out focus but still very interesting to me that I can shoot under the lightening here.
Oh girls, do you see the dust on those pretty shiney balls??? Still cool though!
And here was the last shot (it’s 11 and we must sleep) I loved the light play here.
