The morning began as planned. I warmed a cup of coffee. I sat down at my desk ready to tackle the writing projects that I knew would keep me at the computer most of the day. I just happened to look over my shoulder out the window. Just to pause, ever so briefly, in appreciation of the morning sun.
I did not expect to see sunlight playing upon the surface of a CD. Nor did I expect to see bright colors bouncing around the wall amidst an array of silhouettes, shadows and reflections. But I’m glad I did.
So began one of the most unexpected photography shoots I have experienced in a long time. 😉
Just chasing the light across a thin silvery disc…
… and charting its expression in bands of color on a pale wall.

I saw and photographed the reflection …
… before I turned to look over my shoulder and photograph the real thing.

As coffee brews in the morning, I find myself doing a quick scan of the windows to see the patterns of ice that have formed in the night. Usually my attention is focused just on the windows, the ice crystals and the slow movement of light across the sky.
This morning, my eyes fell upon the white feather, an item I have photographed many times before.
It sits in a shallow dish on the window sill of my writing nook. Today I noticed that its delicate barbs almost touched the nearby pane. If it had, would it have been frozen as well?
Both infused and illuminated by sunlight, and juxtaposed against the growing blue of the sky and the sparkling crystals of the melting ice, well … the color-filled scene was near magical.
Still, after a while, I found myself switching to black and white on the camera. Just to see what would happen. I’m glad I did.

I’ve been thinking of late, that one day as a parting gift for my landlord, I will have to compile all of the pictures I have taken of sunlight shining through his windows. Meanwhile, here are a few taken this morning. 😉

One of my favorite hiking spots in Massachusetts is the Middlesex Fells which you can read more about here. One year I was lucky enough to capture the above image of one of its waterfalls frozen. With recent frigid temps, Steve and I wandered back to the falls to see if it had re-frozen for this winter. Not quite yet, but there was plenty of beautiful ice to be seen.
