driftwood

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 16 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Since it is getting colder now (we got spoiled with a warm winter so far) I thought I would dig out some warm weather pictures for posting. This one is from our annual summer trip to Smith Beach, Virginia (on the Eastern Shore of Virginia - Chesapeake Bay).

I don't know where this driftwood came from - it just ended up here. I know that I cannot go through life the way this tree ended up - tossed around by the waves and not knowing where it will end up. Although there is uncertainty in life I know I have to be focused on God so that I am standing on firm ground.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:25-27

I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back.
I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
