Grass and Sunlight

Last summer, when the grass was in bloom,

the morning sun limned everything with gold.

Button Jar

The prompts for my Be Still class this week are white, round, and minimalist. I think my button jar, with the old shell buttons, meets two of those criteria.

Catch the Light

The sun had just cleared the horizon when I captured the light refracted in this glass ornament.

Sunlight and Snow

I am happy that my gate faces the south, so I can see the sunlight coming through the snow which the gate has captured!!

Bottle and Asters

We have sun today, so I was working in that,

but still with still life.

This series is an old medicine bottle, and a few aster seed heads.

And the sunlight and shadows, of course.

Please let me know what you think...

Catch the Light

There is nothing like the sparkle of the first snows of the winter!

The way some of the snowflakes catch the light just so,

and the blue shadows....

Daylily

I am searching the archives, ignoring the snow outside...

Dawn Ice

The wind ruffled the small patch of open water, while the rising sun cast its golden light over the whole pond.

Getting closer, you can see the texture of the ice.

A different part of the pond, and the light has changed completely.

Lilacs

I only got these images edited over the weekend,

and I had to share them!!

Clematis Seeds

On an October afternoon, after the rain, I spotted this clematis going to seed.

I love the way the sun behind it catches the raindrops!

Catch the Light

I captured these images one afternoon, at the Parliament Buildings. I noticed the shape of the windows inside the tower, though it would have been better with a longer lens. But you use what you have...

These are the east and north faces of the tower.

Dawn at the Carp River

One thing about this time of year - 

I am up before the sun.

Some days there are clouds

to catch the early sun.

I love the way the trees are caught in silhouette 

against the delicate colours.
