Yesterday, as the sun was setting, I decided to focus on the earth instead of the sky.
Between the angle of the light and the new color upon the budding bush outside my window, the branches did seem to have fiery glow.
That glow became a little less fiery after I stopped photographing the curtain as well.
But whether bark or cloth, it was all a beautiful sight in the fading sunlight.

As I waited for the coffee to brew, I decided to snap a few photos of the morning rain beading on the oak tree towering beside the house.
For the most part, I focused through one or two panes of glass though at one point I did open a window and stick my head out.
Despite the morning chill, it was neat to see the buds on the branches and the subtle colors emerging, suggesting spring blossoms and leaves will soon to be.

When I wrote the photo essay Branching Thoughts at the end of last year for Creativity-Portal.com I made some promises that I actually wasn’t sure I was going to keep, about being disciplined and stop putting off until tomorrow what I could conceivably do today. I love trees. I’ve always written about trees and once I picked up a camera I began photographing them, especially the branches. I’ve finally put together a big book of branches, a 108-page collection of images taken across Massachusetts. It is available as a soft cover book or PDF for $8.95. Click on any of the images below to check it out.

through two panes of old glass
rippled and bubbled
branches on display, barely lit by the setting sun
while reflected in the glass light from the lamp indoors
my camera in that moment out of focus
but my sight as I sat in a chair across the room
admiring such complex layers of light and life
quite clear quite clear

trees standing tall in the Fells
trees in shadow upon the ground
and the music that inspired as I decided which sylvan images to post

Actually a single leaf of cuban oregano resting upon blue sea glass. After the mini-photo shoot, the leaf made its way into some soup and the rock returned to a bowl in the hallway to rest with a few other rocks of many hues.
