God has commanded us to be good stewards of the land he created. It is his handiwork and he created us to specifically care for it. Through these photos, I wanted to show human interaction with nature and how we are a part of it.

For my project, I wanted to show how beautiful God's natural creation is. The first picture was taken in a forest, the second was taken in the country, and the third was taken in a small town. None of these three bodies of water have been affected negatively by mankind. They show how beautiful nature can be when we are good stewards of it.

Stewardship of the land can also include developing the land. I chose to show different stages of developing the land we were given. The first photo of the pipe represents the early planning stages of development. The second photo shows a bobcat tread which is involved with developing the land. The final picture is of a developed place, showing nature on one side, and a manmade structure on the other side.

My goal with this project was to show that if you look closely at things you can really see the beauty of nature, but also you can see the damage that humans have done to nature when you see things close up. The top two photos are examples of beauty in nature. The 3rd photo shows oil sitting in a pond, polluting the water, and killing the plants around it. If we are to be stewards of the land we must treat it with care in order not to destroy things.

Beauty is everywhere in nature. You don't need to look far to see a pretty landscape, a picturesque field, or beautiful fall color - but sometimes we move too fast to stop and notice the small details of beauty: the little cells and veins on a leaf, the individual strands on a fallen feather, or the delicate way blades of grass gently hold up a shrivelled up dead leaf. Take the time to notice.

I took these pictures to represent fall and the circle of life. The green leaf represents new life and the yellow represents the middle of life (climax). Then we see a brown crumpled leaf that represents the end of life, death. However, the brown leaf shows a bit of a pretty red color which shows that death can be beautiful, but we need to take care of ourselves and nature.

For this project, I chose to focus on things that seem good, but actually are terrible for the environment. Each of these pictures features an invasive species- Glossy Buckthorn, MultiFlora Rose, and a Mute Swan. Each of these species is taking over the environment that they're in and are doing damage to the native species there.
