This one was taken at the Dallas Arboretum on April 5. I don't know why it appeals to me but I remember exactly what I was thinking when I saw the water fountain pictured here. "Gee, that's a pretty cool spiral. I guess I ought to take a picture." So I did. It's not the best picture I've ever taken, but not the worst, either. It just happens to be a picture I like.
Sometimes photography doesn't take great planning. All it takes is a willing heart and an opportunity. Just like the Christian life. If our hearts are willing to serve the Lord, He will provide us with opportunities to serve. A photographer prepares his or her camera, tripod/monopod, lenses, etc. in hopes that he or she will find the right picture opportunity. Sometimes it comes. Sometimes it doesn't. But the photographer is prepared nonetheless. So we should be. Identify your spiritual gifts and get them ready for service. Pray for open doors and then start looking for them. If the lens of your heart is open to the Lord, then He will provide a picture-perfect opportunity.
