Thankful Thursday and
Little Things Thursday

Today I am thankful for the zoom lens on my camera that allows me to go from the photo above to the photo below without moving closer to the Heron.

'Zoom' is an echoic word - a word originating as an echo of the sound something makes. In this case 'zoom' is an imitation of the sound made by an object moving quickly from one place to another. Though the word originated in the late 1800s, it came into everyday use in the early days of aviation (c. 1917) as pilots talked about zooming around in the sky. It was first used to describe a camera lens in 1936, meaning to move closer quickly.
As you zoom through your day (camera-wise or otherwise), remember to be thankful!
Have a beautiful day!
