Zoom lens or panarama?

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)

I have friends who are really into photography. They are able to "see" much more through their lens than we do looking through just the human eye.

What appears to be just a tree branch covered with leaves, reveals a nest with little chirping beaks.

A forest of trees? That same zooming lens uncovers a doe and fawn hidden beneath branches.

Imagine the rainbow effects in the morning dew on a spider web ...

One friend even dared to draw closer than close to a bumblebee (!) on a flower - oh! The detail! The intricacies discovered there! God did that? God's very hand?

What breath-taking discoveries, right? Right there, if we but stop and take a closer look.

And its not just for the professional or experienced. With today's cell phone features, anyone can zoom in, enlarge - beauty that escapes the naked, "human" eye.

So it is with all of life. If you but look, really look - reframe - choose - you can find a treasure, a gem, a diamond in the "rough" of life.

Today ... gaze upon the beauties of the Lord.
