sunset, like a wildfire

Yesterday, as the sun was setting, I decided to focus on the earth instead of the sky.
Between the angle of the light and the new color upon the budding bush outside my window, the branches did seem to have fiery glow.
That glow became a little less fiery after I stopped photographing the curtain as well.
But whether bark or cloth, it was all a beautiful sight in the fading sunlight.

unfocused clarity, in a series

I’m sure my mother would be appalled at how dusty I allow my windows to remain. Yet occasionally when I glimpse the morning, afternoon or evening light striking the chalky surfaces, what I see is a strange beauty.
And when such a sighting occurs … which is probably far too often … I try to capture something of what I see. I move fast and don’t think about camera settings, and so sometimes my camera is unfocused.
Or I purposefully try to zoom in ways that I know my little camera really can’t do but I do it anyway because I suspect I might see something really cool on the camera display. And I do.
What I see on the camera display will sometimes … not always, but sometimes … make me smile or make me wonder. No specific words will come to mind, just a sensibility that can sometimes be hard to explain. Those feelings are all the motivation I need to keep shooting for just a bit longer.
in the hallway, in morning light

even when no rainbows were sought …

… it became a game to walk along the beach for a stretch and then to whip around and see where the sun was layering its light.
wonderfully out of focus

through two panes of old glass
rippled and bubbled
branches on display, barely lit by the setting sun
while reflected in the glass light from the lamp indoors
my camera in that moment out of focus
but my sight as I sat in a chair across the room
admiring such complex layers of light and life
quite clear quite clear
in winter sunlight …

I sat in the hallway trying to find some focus as I shifted between writing projects. But focus was not coming and so at last, a bit agitated, I started to rise. That’s when my eyes fell upon a clear vase. In fact it was a drinking cup that I’d turned into a vase after the plastic had begun to crack. It held an inch or so of water and a few sprigs of baby’s breath.
The sunlight shone through it magnificently, and somehow that light brought a great sense of calm.
I shook the vase to let the light dance.
Then some petals fell in casting their shadows.
And then I could not resist … I dunked in several sprigs, curious to see what new shapes would emerge. New shapes did and so did several rainbows.
Soon the light shifted as it always, eventually does. I crumbled the baby’s breath on top the soil of another growing plant. The empty vase I placed back in the window.
I share these photos of that light-filled moment with you. And now I am off to write. 😉
tealight

I remember a furry little friend discovering my tealight candles. She turned around and tried to pretend she hadn’t been poking her face where she shouldn’t but somehow the scorched whiskers gave her away.
