Our signature Bible passage, the prologue to John's Gospel, tells us that Jesus (the Logos) is God and Creator and that He came in the flesh (sarx) to redeem His fallen, sin-cursed creation—and especially those He chose to believe in Him.
Here in Bios & Logos we have some fun examining small corners of the creation to show how great a Creator Jesus is—and our need for Him as Redeemer. Soli Deo Gloria.

Tweaking Nature
I’m not a great fan of making alterations to God’s creatures—or images thereof. I generally limit processing of my photos to cropping for composition and minor adjustments of brightness and contrast where necessary. A sharpening tool comes in handy as well when things are a little fuzzy.
Some subjects, however, just seem to produce bland images, no matter how carefully I compose or expose (and I am not a foreigner to careless composing and exposing). Yarrow, a plant plentiful in the meadow, presents one of those challenges. Even to bring out the delicate detail and color, especially of the central disk, requires some drastic measures.
As you can see in the present gallery, I went a little crazy. Not stopping at subtle enhancement, I ventured into the bazaar and abstract.
But a little crazy creativity is fun once in a while. Enjoy. (Click on the images to enjoy thembigger.)
I taught biology in a public high school for 41 years. I now have time to learn more biology and theology than I ever did during my working years. I am blessed to share, via this blog, some thoughts that merge the two fields and make some God-glorifying sense out of life--and to have some fun while doing it.
To preview (or even buy) a couple of little books I did a while back, scroll all the way to the bottom of this page (quite a long way down), and you'll see pictures of the covers. Click on "Full Screen" and you can click your way through the entire books.
