Balance and Poise

This Understanding Photography book has given me heaps of inspiration. I must admit, I can't actually remember if I took this photo on purpose or if I discovered it while editing my photos. Let's say I took it on purpose, as a good photographer always does I'm sure.

I can't decide if it looks like a lollipop, a balloon, or a moon perfectly positioned to balance on a blade of grass.

It reminds me of the small and insignificant is often aligned with the grand and mighty. One blade of grass, aligned with a body circling the Earth in Space, pulling on our oceans to create tides, and yet here they are together. A matter of perspective. How great is our God who knows not only the blade of grass and the moon in the picture, but the sands I was lying in, the creatures in the water behind me, the stars that are not visible in this photo but are there...just to name a few things.

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens by the span, And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales?" Isaiah 40:12
