Layered Light and Branches

With today’s sunset, I focused less on the sky and more on the sunlit branches cast in silhouette.
Today’s Sunset

Well, after a long day at the computer that left me with eyes sore and lower back aching, plus the host of other things that happened, I was starting to get a little grumpy. Not seriously so, just enough to make me feel a bit sorry for myself as the work day ended. I leaned back in my chair with head thrown back wondering all sorts of thoughts. That’s when it happened.
I turned my head just a fraction of an inch and out of the corner of my eye I saw color. As if someone had taken a paint brush dipped in orange and blue and browns and pinks and just a hint of gold and raked the dripping bristles across the sky.
Even as red gave way to indigo and soon to darkest night, I felt my day lighten. No matter the few aches and pains and issues I might have, I was reminded in a relatively few minutes, how lucky I am in this life.
In Morning Light …

Long ago, I found two white feathers in the deep dark woods beneath a towering tree. At least that’s the story I told a little girl in need of a fairy tale. In fact, I found these lovely wisps in an art store. I tucked them into a blue vase. Awaiting inspiration, I guess. Well, this Sunday, inspiration flooded through the windows as sunlight … as always, illuminating life’s simple beauty.
Halo

A Beautiful Blue Morning

This morning, after a hearty breakfast, I set out with my camera, up and down the spiral staircase, snapping photos. At first I tried shooting randomly. Butterflies. Light filled bottles. Coffee grounds and unfinished toast. But, quite frankly, I can only be random for so long. My brain started to look for patterns in terms of what was drawing my eye. In the end, of all the beauty around me, I decided to keep focus on the color blue. Like a blue marble left by a child in a crack in the floor.
Dish soap drizzled onto a china white plate.
Milk in an indigo glass.
And turquoise paint on a brush.
