I started drawing this picture before the assignment(that’s why it’s the wrong ratio) and just finished it. I didn’t know if it would work if it were cropped or blank space added, for the verse “As the deer panteth for the water”

The money pictures I thought would illustrate “I love you more than gold or silver”

The Bible on the rock I thought might illustrate, “You alone are my strength, my shield To you alone may my spirit yield”

I went to our woods and shot these pictures for “fairer still the woodlands”

This one of a storm coming in I thought might work for, “Ruler of all nature” because God controls the weather.

[Levi Cloutier]

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Here are some pictures of a crocus in my yard. I thought it could illustrate the second verse of “Fairest Lord Jesus:”
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

These pictures of them reading the Bible, I thought would go with “Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown” or “You alone are my heart’s desire And I long to worship thee”

I went out this morning to try the cross picture again with more color in the sky. I was thinking it could illustrate “Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing.”

The daffodils I was thinking for “the blooming garb of spring”.

Then here are two from my portfolio: Deer in lush grass for “As the deer”.

I was thinking the sunrise could illustrate “Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son.” In Gen 1:16 it says “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day. The sun in the ruler of the day just like Christ is the ruler of nature.

The cloud picture and white flower I thought could go with “Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing.”

The girl on the trail with her Bible could illustrate ” Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor”,”You alone are the real joy giver”, or “You alone are my heart’s desire”.

I thought the budding leaves and the flowers would go with “Robed in the blooming garb of spring”.

These are from my 10 year old, sister Sarah. She just got her first camera and is excited to participate in the assignment!

These flowers she was thinking would go with “Robed in the blooming garb of spring”.

She was thinking “fairer still the woodlands” for the moss, red bud, and trout lily.

For the apple she was thinking went with “the apple of my eye”.

The Bible she was thinking was for “You alone are my heart’s desire”.

Guys, this is AMAZING! What a blessing this will be for Elizabeth!! So many great photo submissions…excited to what else comes in before midnight 😉 Honestly, there are sooo many amazing submissions I want to comment on ALL of them to say what I like about them, but I’ll just have to save individual comments for the chat on the webinar as James goes over the photos 🙂

@blessingscaptured
Hannah, Ruthann, Esther and Sarah, spring certainly has sprung in your area! Everything’s still quite brown around here but we’re starting to see signs of spring popping up around. Hannah, so glad you went back out to shoot the scene with the cross. The lighting and dewdrops enhance the scene so, so much! And I just love that all you sisters shot for the assignment…so fun! Yay Sarah, shooting for your first assignment! Good job!!

@levi-cloutier
So fun to see daffodils! Love the lighting in the other photos too!

@elmullet
Love the flowers…you captured the feeling of spring really well.

@sarahb
The deer!! Amazing!! I don’t think I have even one photo of a deer in my portfolio 😀

My computer had some troubles this week and is in “the doctor’s office” so that messed with any plans I had to submit anything early. 🙂 But I finally got LR installed on the family laptop, and will see if I can get a couple photos edited and submitted before deadline at midnight!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but it was a blessing to my heart to meditate on the thoughts in these songs throughout this assignment. What a beautiful challenge to truly desire the Lord for Who He is.

I took some self portraits (as suggested by Lydia🙂) that I thought might work for these hymns.
These might illustrate The first verse and the chorus of “As the Deer:”

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee

You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee

It might also illustrate the first verse of Fairest Lord Jesus:
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.
