green fields and rain

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 7 April 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Things are really starting to green up now, with the grass growing and the buds starting to come in a bit on the trees. But with the spring comes rain, and the days (like Sunday here) where the green grass beckons us outside but the rain keeps us inside.

Even though the rain keeps us inside, we still recognize that it is something that we need - sometimes the things we need are not always the things that we want.

Fear not, Earth! Be glad and celebrate! God has done great things. Fear not, wild animals! The fields and meadows are greening up. The trees are bearing fruit again: a bumper crop of fig trees and vines!Children of Zion, celebrate! Be glad in your God. He's giving you a teacher to train you how to live right—Teaching, like rain out of heaven, showers of words to refresh and nourish your soul, just as he used to do. And plenty of food for your body—silos full of grain, casks of wine and barrels of olive oil. Joel 2:21-24

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

Please give me your constructive comments - I do appreciate your input!

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

I am on vacation now and do not have access to the internet, so I cannot thank you for your comments or comment on your images - I will try to catch up when I get back. Thanks!
