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.

Sunday Lights

This morning it naturally came up that the topic of lights was
going to dominate this blog post.  This morning I noticed how
subdued the colors were outside. This was from our backyard
and it was 37 degrees.

I do have a thing for lights.  This morning I put a glass
enclosed votive candle inside my latest new piece of glass,
perfect for the fall season and Thanksgiving.

I just have to share that this beauty was found at KARM,
the Knoxville Area Rescue Mission thrift store.

Cost: $3.27.



This glowing school bus caught my attention yesterday in the
parking lot at the fitness center.  It was amazing to me
the way the rising sun lit up the inside so evenly.  Almost spooky.





This was a scene on the main road off our lane about three weeks ago.  The police
cars were there for over an hour.  We then noticed a car was
being towed from the sight.  It might appear a girl is handcuffed in the photo.  

 That's all we know but  the blue and red
glows got our attention when we went out to get our paper.

(I zoomed in from a distance and used no flash to draw their attention)



An ultimate little light maker from nature.  In the early spring here, we noticed
lightning bugs in our back yard.  I tried video taping them and making
photos using my camera to no avail.

The next morning this lightning bug was waiting and posing for
me right inside our front door in the living room.

He smiled, I snapped his picture and then safely deposited
him outside.

On another note, I'm very excited today.  We are going to a play!  It has been too long since we have been to a play.  I love plays.  I love theatre.  Tomorrow I hope to give a report about the play.
