ice at belle isle

As I post this picture taken yesterday of ice on a Belle Isle trail, I look out the kitchen window and view light dancing upon water. Not river or pond water but water pooling upon asphalt. Heavy rains in New England at the moment, and the light that shines down is street and car lights. Red, gold, green. In this photo, the sun was setting and illuminating wonderful patterns at my feet of water cradling rocks and broken glass and bits of grass.
an unexpected sight before sundown

It was to be a short walk in the Belle Isle Marsh. I expected to capture sunlight on branches. The snowy owl in a tree was quite the surprise. Thanks to a kind stranger who pointed out the white spot and even let people borrow his binoculars for a better look.
a christmas walk on the beach

After eating all of that bread mentioned in the previous post, let alone all of the other holiday goodies, a walk was necessary. We chose a favorite spot, Revere Beach. No snow upon the ground, but it was cold as evidenced by the water frozen in shells upon the shore. A bright sun illuminated everything even if it did not warm.
a song of rain, and images

At the bottom of this post is a video of Ladysmith Black Mambazo singing Rain Rain Beautiful Rain. A friend shared the song with me and I promised her when it next rained that I would share the song with others.
Well today is a very, very rainy and gray day in the Boston area.
Rainy and gray …
and still beautiful.

Simply beautiful in my humble opinion. Enjoy this just over 1 minute video from artist Angie Pickman. A tribute to the winter solstice. 😉

winter’s light revisited

It has been almost two years since my photo essay Winter’s Light appeared in Talking Writing.
Of course I still love the light of this approaching season.
With that winter’s light in 2011, I focused on the illumination of “ordinary objects,” from condensation to old postcards hung on a wall.
With this morning’s near-winter light, I was struck by the illumination of branching fingers of ice.
To view such scenes at the start of the day feels magical. Feels cold, too, but still magical. 😉
