When I first went up the stairs there were no shadows cast on the wall, no dark silhouettes in the air. Then the sun peeked out for just a short while lighting up my little corner of the world.
by the time you view these images …

the ice will have melted.
The panes of glass will be mostly clear.
The icy forest will be gone.
And likely I’ll be a bit warmer, but what a way to start the day. 😉
the sun keeps peeking out too

I have to admit I was much more enchanted by the first few winter storms. Now as we batten down the hatches for roughly 10 inches of snow tonight, I’m really, really, really looking forward to spring. I may feel differently in the morning when the sun’s rays strike all the white surfaces. We’ll see … 😉
views through old glass, or the beauty of bending light

It was a bit like finding the rainbow in the ice last week. I was walking past a sunlit window and turned my head at just the right moment to see something there, that would only be there for a moment. This morning I was walking past a sunlit window in a different room and turned my head at just the right moment to notice not ephemeral ice but ripples and waves in the old glass. At certain angles, the ripples distorted my view in wonderful ways. I’ve posted about the views through this window before (like here).
Branches and old vines. A dead tree with falling bark. A metal fence and crumbling stone wall. That’s really all that’s captured in any of the photos.
I think the photos have always been taken through the two panes of old glass. It’s just that the angle of the winter sun was different today, and my perspective was different today.
We’ll see what tomorrow holds in terms of light, perspective and all those other variables that influence a picture.
just a bit more ice

Steve says this ice image reminds him of the Little Prince on his asteroid B-612 traveling the universe. What do you see? 😉
