… something about this morning’s light in the pale petals and against the dark leaves reminded me of both dawn and sunset come together.

reminiscent of water

Before journeying to the Brooks Estate, I stood in the living room holding my camera, staring out through that rippled glass of which I’ve written so often. And as I swayed just a bit to change the angle of my view … well, the reflection of the white curtains in the glass and the twisting shapes of the trees, still mostly bare of any leaves, through the glass … they reminded me of many things, from running water to ballet dancers moving across a stage. I could even see singers with hands raised high and voices ringing out in praise.

Last summer, a large bee and I had an altercation in the kitchen. In short, it could not manage to exit out the window through which it had entered and so it now rests in a jar, frozen in time, quite beautiful, I think, if a little macabre. Off and on, I have tried photographing the creature but nothing clicked until yesterday when the sun shone “just right.” Flowers both real and artificial reflected on the surface of the jar. The bee’s wings glowed with iridescent light. Factoring in curvature and irregular thickness of the glass … well, it was a sight that made me grab my camera.
The biologist in me is kind of curious what will happen over time, but likely what will is happen is that later this spring I will bury the bee in a pot full of flowers or maybe under that big oak tree. We’ll see …
