Light and Shadow









Playing around with my camera a couple of weeks ago,
thought I'd include this photo since it's about "light and shadows".




Today I was thinking of light and shadows.  In the evenings, we have been noticing
some strong beams of the setting sun that are streaming behind the window treatment
from the opposite side of the room into the living room.  These photo scenes actually occured naturally, I
did not do any special staging.

I think that is what makes them more special. 









We've all seen what I think of as that eerie lighting, the dark clouds with
some bright sun.  I love the way it illuminates trees, birch trees
are particularly beautiful this way.







Fond of rose bowls, I mostly use them for candles.  I've been using this
one in the evenings.








This image blew me away, I was sitting across from Clint
and had to grab my camera when I saw this shadow of his martini glass.
The shadow is on the living room wall.










Most of my life is spent looking up!  I marvel at cloud formations
such as these.








This sheet draped over the sofa was glowing
the other evening against the strong shadows
in the folds.








It's Five O' Clock somewhere!





Where there is much light, the shadow is deep.

A Beautiful Clouded Day









Wednesday my sister and I were driving by this scene
when I exclaimed,  "What a composition!"


More than a composition, it was such a beautiful scene to me.


There was one brown cow in the group.










My mother , before too long, will be residing right off the road
on the right of this photo.  This is so close
 to where we lived growing up.

The best news is my sister lives right off
this road, too, so close to my mother.
We all will be closer.










The morning started out very foggy and it was pouring rain.
Later in the afternoon, I can't recall when I have seen such
large billowy clouds against such a vivid blue sky.










At the top of the hill, overlooking the city and countryside,
is a cemetery.  I had forgotten the breath taking views from
this hill.
