Working Bee

by

A bumblebee doing what he does best, pollinating our cone flowers. I spotted him from our front door, grabbed my camera and headed outside to find out which way he went. Because my bee dialect is very rusty, he would not stay still when I asked. But after a few minutes of chasing him from flower to flower I was able to make this photo. I love the colors and the details in the photograph.

Motivation Monday

Today’s image is from church yesterday.

BrettWorship

With our worship leader on choir tour in Las Vegas, I was wondering who was going to lead worship this week. When we got to church, we noticed the very talented Brett Younker leading worship. We sang one of my favorite song “Like A Lion” written by a fellow adoptive father Daniel Bashta, that we had the pleasure of meeting at last years Bethany Christian Services adoption celebration banquet.

Motivated through worshiping God this week.

Photography Word Wednesday

This week’s words are:

Macro Lens -is a lens that is able to focus much closer then an ordinary lens and has a 1:1 magnification. If that’s not confusing enough Nikon calls their lenses micro and Canon calls theirs macro. Just remember that they a for making close up photographs of small things.

Antique Mamiya

by

I’m not the type that collects antiques, but I’m a sucker for old cameras. We don’t have a large collection of antiques camera but there is one, this old Mamiya, that is very special to our family. It is also the header on my blog, but I’m sure you noticed that.

Jamie’s grandfather bought this camera while he was in Japan during World War Two. He know that we were photographer and told us about the camera and said that if knew where it was he would give it to us. I didn’t think much about the conversation after that day. Well after Jamie’s grandfather passed away her mom found the camera in a box and brought it to us. Now it has a very special place in our small collection of cameras.
