Field Trip

We had a photo field trip today. What fun. God was gracious to honor our request for no rain (at least for two hours that morning). At one point I was taking pictures of the reflection of the Capital in the lake and I saw water droplets from above making rings in the water, so I looked up thinking it was a bird just taking off out of the water, but there was no bird. You could see the rain cloud progressing toward us, and I just said, "Lord, I asked for 2 hours without rain," and do you know the rain stopped almost immediately!!! Wow!! What an AWESOME GOD we serve. He truly does honor the prayers of His people. Thanks God (in case I forgot to mention it).
Anyway, here's a couple of my favorite shots from yesterday. A lot of the pictures I took were just to learn what happens if you do this with the appeture and that to the shutter speed, etc. I thought these turned out pretty well. Enjoy. ps ~ to view them larger, just click on the photo.
