Indeed, ice did cover the windows this morning creating beautiful backgrounds, far off landscapes and whole universes.
I even found a rainbow.

in the beginning I nearly drank the feather

I was racing around and suddenly grew thirsty. I picked up a glass by the bed and just happened to look down before I swallowed the little feather that had slipped out of its pillow to drift into my glass. And so, did I then empty the glass and relieve my thirst? Nope. I raced around to different light sources to see how best to illuminate this unexpected treat.

… it struck the bottom of the glass where it lay in its rack …
… and it was beautiful, too.

Cliche but that’s what it was. These images were taken in the dying of the light, as we exited the Brooks Estate.

glass on the table

That same day there was a glass on the table, and it too filled with light. As you might imagine, it was a very hard day to concentrate. It would have been easy to pull down some shades or find a dark corner, but I do declare, I just couldn’t do it. I have no regrets even though I had to stay up a bit late to finish some writing assignments.
cloth

Not flower petals. No view through rippled windows. It is a piece of cloth draped over a chair. Yes, in that same kitchen with those magnificent windows. A bright ray of sun shone through and settled in the various folds.
The only reason I knew to look up from my laptop and in that direction was because the sun was burning my arm. My camera was near. I did not adjust the settings but what I captured I liked. The impressions of light and suggestion of form and the shifting shades of colors.
Eventually I did shift settings so that I might capture just a bit more of reality.
And after that I could play again in the light.

What happened is this: a friend forgot her birthday flowers. They sit in a sky blue vase in Steve’s kitchen catching the morning light.
And so I have this unique opportunity, until their owner’s return, to photograph many pretty petals, in black and white and in color.
