"Earth is art,

the photographer is only the witness."

I have witnessed some beautiful earth art,

and captured the moments with my camera.

"A good photograph

is knowing where to stand."

Ansel Adams

"You don't take a photograph,

you make it."

Ansel Adams

"Photography is a way of feeling,

of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film

is captured forever...

It remembers little things

long after you have forgotten

everything."

Aaron Siskind

"Photography is the only language

that can be understood

everywhere in the world."

Bruno Barbey

"Photographs tell stories.

The plantings in this photo are beautiful,

but my mind is drawn to the rake

left behind in the mulch.

The rake is evidence of a gardener

just as all creation is evidence of a creator."

SERMONS IN STONES
Copyright 2012 Marcia Norwood
AMERICA'S STORYTELLER

I take thousands of photographs each year. My family teases me that I take more photos of my gardens than I do of them...and I take lots of photos of my family! It gives me great joy to match my photographs with inspirational and sometimes funny quotations to create STORYTELLER gift books and greeting cards.

Guess you could say that I'm a Mary Engelbreit wanna-be. I'm certainly one of her biggest fans. Mary is a fellow native of Missouri. She is an artist who combines her precious drawings with quotes to create her line of M.E. books, cards, gifts and textiles.

You are invited to visit my blog often, and invite a friend! I'll be sharing stories and some of my favorite photographs that I've taken with my Kodak Z1012 IS camera. You may sign up on the right of my blog to have new posts delivered to your email.

Today I'm sharing two of my photographs with flowers and carved rocks that were in flower pots on my front porch. God speaks to me through nature. I often "find sermons in stones." I matched these photos with a quote from William Shakespeare.
