… and mostly ice.  Lovely ice on the windows.

snow

I have to admit I was much more enchanted by the first few winter storms.  Now as we batten down the hatches for roughly 10 inches of snow tonight, I’m really, really, really looking forward to spring.  I may feel differently in the morning when the sun’s rays strike all the white surfaces.  We’ll see … 😉

Amazing how these photos do collect over the years.  Whenever I review such shots, I am reminded of how lucky I have been in my experiences, to have seen and sometimes tasted such beauty in the world.  Wherever you are in the world as evening falls where I live, be well.  More posts next week. 😉

works in progress

It is with great pleasure to begin the year working on producing new sets of postcards for the Book Shop in Trinity Church in Copley Square, postcards that highlight just a bit the outstanding artwork and craftsmanship of the church’s interior.  The above image is a detail from one of the windows in the chancel executed by Clayton & Bell of London, Jesus in the Temple with the Doctors.  The following image is a detail from The Ascension, a window located in the south transept and executed by A. Oudinot of Paris.

The postcards should be available by end of the month exclusively at the shop.

but really just the bottom of the pan (yes, lit by the sun) as it hangs on the kitchen wall.

The blood orange.  A bit tangy but delicious. 😉

still blooming

It was a bit like finding the rainbow in the ice last week.  I was walking past a sunlit window and turned my head at just the right moment to see something there, that would only be there for a moment.  This morning I was walking past a sunlit window in a different room and turned my head at just the right moment to notice not ephemeral ice but ripples and waves in the old glass.  At certain angles, the ripples distorted my view in wonderful ways.  I’ve posted about the views through this window before (like here).

Branches and old vines. A dead tree with falling bark. A metal fence and crumbling stone wall.  That’s really all that’s captured in any of the photos.

I think the photos have always been taken through the two panes of old glass.  It’s just that the angle of the winter sun was different today, and my perspective was different today.

We’ll see what tomorrow holds in terms of light, perspective and all those other variables that influence a picture.

just a bit more ice
