On May 5th, my photo parable was entitled Peaks & Valleys. Today’s photo is an expanded view of the same scene. Revisiting an area encourages a photographer to look with new eyes, to explore more deeply, to find a new vantage point. I like this new perspective.

I find it like reading a passage from the Bible again. Each time we do that, we allow God to point our mind in a different direction. We see the passage anew. We become a different person. The passage remains familiar but brings new insight.

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert (Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV).

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).

I will never tire of the endlessly changing beauty of God’s creation. God willing, I will continue to explore this area of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Similarly, search for something new in God’s word. Seek to be in Christ, a new creation.
