Mammoth Part 9: His Glory

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6: 25-34

These photos (and most of the others from this series were taken with Nikon D800.  Shot in RAW, converted to DNG and processed on Lightroom 3 (since I have not yet upgraded to Lightroom 4 and Lighroom 3 does not support D800 raw files).  One thing that I have loved about the D800 is the capability to crop and still come out with a nice, non-blurry photo!  It's fussy sometimes working with such large files, but the top photo was cropped quite a bit and still turned out nice details.  So...so far...I'm loving it!  The lens was 24-70mm, f2.8.  The credit goes to my daughter, Anna, for the top two photographs!  We watched this squirrel all morning long, preparing for winter.  Back and forth...back and forth...carrying his pine cones and digging them under the earth!
