Sunset and Milkweed

Combination photography is an amazing thing, especially when you take something very common and ordinary, like a milkweed, and combine it with that which is always beautiful, a sunset. Tonight I was racing to get to a place where I could take some shots of the sunset. This is always a race, because usually there is only a 5 to 10 minute window of opportunity. Tonight everything was in place and the timing was right on. I drove by a field and noticed some milkweed and wondered if it would be possible to shoot the sunset through the silky seeds. After breaking one off, I stationed it on a fence post and started to shoot. What is really amazing, is that our God would take the common and ordinary and make it into an object of great beauty. You can read into that whet every you like. Just praise God for His creations.

Fall in N.W. Wisconsin 2013

This will be my 90th blog under "Frank's Photos". I haven't added up all the photos, but I am sure there are a lot. Of all the places I enjoy taking photos there is a place south of Spooner, called "Wildlife Road". While I haven't seen much wildlife down this road, I still enjoy watching the seasons change. In the spring, there are a million trillium. In the summer it is loaded with wild flowers and in the winter thew snow covered trees are amazing. But the season I love the most is the Fall, with the turning of the leaves and the contrast of colors. God has taught me to not only look at the big scenery, but to take time and look at the little things, such as single leaves or the bark of trees. All of these are a testimony of a Great God who is in control of creation. Psalms 19 talks about the Glory of God as seen in creation. Next time you see a red maple leave, take a good look and maybe you can see the Glory of God.
