apparitions

Well, not really. A friend hung a large poster print of a photograph I took of 4 maidens in Edwin Abbey’s mural depicting scenes from the search for the Holy Grail. As I photographed the poster and how it appeared in his home, I began to notice the reflections in the picture frame.
The layering of images, especially in black and white, appeared ghostly to me.
The effect was heightened by some rather moody music playing in the background at a local music festival.
In any case, I hope my friend enjoys his poster.
That poster print and other items are available here.
no frost behind the curtain this morning …

but I am certainly glad I looked.
Only a little bit of moisture so no great ice sculptures as before though I still see stars and lost universes.
Just light reflecting and refracting, striking the dust, and veiling that magnificent oak tree.

Feathers On Ice

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.
