I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

That's one heck of a purdy lookin' giraffe there, sir. Nice shot! You standin' on somethin'? Forgive my nonsense, it's almost 3 a.m.! LOL, but that giraffe sure looks really good to me.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

These ugly creatures always remind me of puzzles..jigsaw type. I used to be an avid fan of puzzles, but the last one I have done so far involved one of these babies...man oh man...1,000 pieces no less!!! Took me forever to match up all those lookalike markings. As a photo, it is flawless. You did a really good job here. Send it into a puzzle company and get the satisfaction of driving some poor unwitting puzzler out of their mind muah muah..
You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.
