 Bio summary

"Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

Ezer by J PhillipsI wanted to get some photos of the wings of the Cockatoo to use in a computer art work for a celebration of Pentecost, so I put the telephoto lens on my camera and left it in the car hoping to see a flock of the birds. I prayed that God would help me to get a good shot.....but after about 3 months I took the camera out of the car. I had not seen them close enough and I was thinking that the camera I had was the wrong sort for catching the kind of images I wanted. Meanwhile I had also seen the images of two hands crossed in an iconic art work and they looked just like wings. So I decided I would try and morph two hands into a dove...the Holy Spirit is the "ezer" - "Helper" like two hands.

I took the camera out of the car and that afternoon I heard a lot of squawking. It took me a few minutes to realize that there were cockatoos outside my house. I grabbed the camera and went outside. The cockatoos flew towards me, lifted their wings, (which was just the shot I wanted!!) and then flew away. How gracious God is!

     


Christmas 2005 we visited Melbourne. I decided to go to the Museum. They had stuffed birds hanging from the ceiling.....I was able to use my digital camera to take the photos I had originally wanted. I put them together to make this one: The right images for my camera!

In 2007 two wild cockatoos came to my balcony and posed for me! So God answered my prayer.
