I almost feel like there’s a story in this image, of the sun shining through flowers, like a red orb rising.

Okay, back to the flowers …

Despite my pronouncement that I might be done with tulips, a dear friend surprised me with some. I took that as a sign that this photographic journey is to continue for a while longer. 😉
Interiors

Tulips are not my favorite flowers nor do I usually select pink-budded anything. Yet over the weekend on a whim I picked up a bouquet of pink tulips, narrow heads still tightly closed, to fill an empty vase in the kitchen. For days, as the flowers slowly opened, I kept focusing on the exterior, admiring the loving pink tones of the petals, thinking I might take a few shots at some point. Then this morning I caught a glimpse of each flowers interior. Of course, there went my morning. 😉
Light Through a Different Object

The shot glass has been sitting in the same spot on the window sill for about four years just gathering dust and loose coins I toss its way.
Yes, light has shone through its crystal base before but I guess my eyes are especially sensitive to light displays at present. 😉
What drew my eyes this time were the rainbow shards projected across the window sill. Perfect spears and overlapping rods of light. Back at the computer, it became much fun to subtly play with contrasts.
This image I shifted the colors just a bit, bringing out the blues.
And here is a black and white image.
As this day ends, I am tempted to place a bunch of glass jars of different shapes and sizes and colors along the window. What rainbow-hued shapes will appear as the sun strikes next? I must say, this is turning into a very fun winter! 😉

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

Kaleidoscopic Tree
Well, as gray skies gave way to rain, I figured it was okay to pull out pictures and papers and glue once again to play with colors layered on the page.
Moonstruck
The moon is still significant, as are boats sailing the blue seas.
The Race
These sails were inspired by some Japanese block prints I viewed online.
