But then I did wonder, what if I changed the setting on my camera to cyanotype? How would the red paper appear to me then? Simply blue, in part. But I was also reminded of blue lakes and shadowed valleys, smoky mountains, and smoky lounges where women sang the blues.

While I cannot say I am ready for the arctic blast that is apparently striking the east coast next week, I am a bit curious to see what icy formations will appear on the windows next.

when I focus on the wonderfully altered views. Heavy rains are coming with strong winds so I expect future views will change quite a bit.

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.

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.

Through the rippled window in black and white.
Where’s the beauty?
I’m not sure.
I just know I find it all mesmerizing.
And I hope you enjoy.
Here’s the view in spring.

A steady rain falls this day and as the light shifts and the wind blows, beautiful patterns are created upon the kitchen windows. In the foreground are the raindrops and in the distance are the branches of the towering oak tree, its leaves now dark russet and falling to the ground.

Back home, I was racing up and down the stairs trying to photograph the morning sun as it struck the burnt orange leaves of the oak tree. As I turned around to walk back down the stairs, I noticed the silhouette on the wall. For a while, I photographed those shadows, the subtle shift of the shapes as the wind stirred the branches outside, and inside, how my motion stirred the butterflies on the mobile hanging from the ceiling.
As for the orange leaves that first drew my attention … to my eyes, they are like stained glass.
