"Sunset Along the Merrimack"





Ahh, the beauty of spring...

Spring Time

Thankfully, this past winter was a mild one, to say the least. And with that, spring time has arrived, and with this time of year comes the some of the most beautiful weather and scenery you can capture on film. I would consider myself and amateur photographer, but even that may be a stretch of the imagination.

Nevertheless, I find joy in capturing the beauty of God's creation on film. To try to capture the sheer wonder of the romance held in a spectacular sunset; the amazing colors that the Lord so evenly disburses through flowers; the beautiful contrast of greens and purples and yellows and reds on a beautiful sunny spring day; or perhaps the drama that a dark, storm-laden sky beholds; I find deep joy in trying to portray real-life imagery in a 4x6 piece of paper. It is quite a challenge, but one I feel is incredibly rewarding.

So with that in mind, my spring time photography has begun. Let us find joy in all of God's creation, whether it be in the stormy skies, the bright sun, a radiant flower, the dramatic mountain-scapes, or the beautiful green grass... the Lord has designed it all to portray just a miniscule glimpse of His majesty.
