photo set: signs of spring

I've learned to shoot photos during winter months. That suited me well - lots of high contrast moments, subjects tending toward isolation, stalking the world in black & white. You know, all the introverted, reflective crap.

But now it's spring. Whole different ball game. Whole different sport.

Yesterday I tried to go out, drive around, and find some inspiration - standard winter modus operandi. I don't know about you, but I can't find frames of springtime to shoot from the driver's seat of a 2001 minivan. I have to walk. After I had come home discouraged (I never even got out of the van), I strapped my youngest to my back and we walked Liberty for 1.5 hours. Fantastic. Spring is here, and it was only by walking up to it that I got to find it.

I'm not a botanist, so I don't know the names of anything I shot yesterday. But, boy, do they look pretty!

consider (matthew 6:28-30)

And why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the flowers of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

cup (psalm 23:5)

You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

At that moment, Patterson felt like the world was created just for him.


"So I told him that if he wanted me to fight crime with him, he needed to get me a suit that didn't make me look so fat."

Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
