Sunrise Lord's Mercy  The word “little” actually is rather non-descriptive by itself. Little compared to what? If comparing to a bacteria then little would be invisable to anything except a powerful microscope. On the other hand, a little sea (compared to the ocean) could actually be an object of rather large proportions. The question to be asked then is, what is a little hobby. I supose for the fellow who collects postage stamps or the girl who has a thimble collection it would make sense to say they have a little  hobby. In my case, however, the size of the Stirs Up The Sea items involved varies a lot. Sometimes I work with pixels, othertimes with scenery so vast that it makes me feel small and quiet as I veiw the granduer of what God has created. No, my hobby is not so much “little” because of the size, but more because I have a limited amount of time to put into it. I think that I have been too busy the last while, it seems that I have neglected many things that I once enjoyed; there is a time to prioritize,  but there is also a time to enjoy the many good things that God has created and given us to enjoy. In any case, I New Song have been wanting to edit a few photos for a while, to add a scripture to them, to make them into something that would look pleasant upon the nightstand or the dresser top. Today I had a few hours that were not clamed by other activities so I took the time to work on 4 photographs a little.  I have posted them here for you to see. Please, if you enjoy photography, feel free to critic these photos. I still have a lot to learn, and hope to always improve. So now you know, and perhaps you will get a little enjoyment from my little hobby! Lift Up My Eyes

Note: All three of the color photos were actually taken in Haiti over the course of several years and each one at a different location. The sunrise over the ocean was taken from a boat. The black and white photo was taken one morning at a job site where we were building a pole barn in middle Tennessee. For me it is the clouds in this photo that really make the picture.
