Layered Light and Branches

With today’s sunset, I focused less on the sky and more on the sunlit branches cast in silhouette.
Warm Colors in the Kitchen

A paper umbrella, its red fading in the sunlight.
Powdered cinnamon about to be measured for apple crisp.
Steve’s well-used cook books. 😉
A golden yolk … too runny for me to eat, but so beautiful in the morning light.
Today’s Sunset

Well, after a long day at the computer that left me with eyes sore and lower back aching, plus the host of other things that happened, I was starting to get a little grumpy. Not seriously so, just enough to make me feel a bit sorry for myself as the work day ended. I leaned back in my chair with head thrown back wondering all sorts of thoughts. That’s when it happened.
I turned my head just a fraction of an inch and out of the corner of my eye I saw color. As if someone had taken a paint brush dipped in orange and blue and browns and pinks and just a hint of gold and raked the dripping bristles across the sky.
Even as red gave way to indigo and soon to darkest night, I felt my day lighten. No matter the few aches and pains and issues I might have, I was reminded in a relatively few minutes, how lucky I am in this life.
Belle Isle Marsh

Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in East Boston, Massachusetts is Boston’s last remaining salt marsh. It is a family-friendly, dog-friendly (i.e. watch your step!), easy to traverse recreation spot. Because it is near the airport, there is often the interesting juxtaposition of a plane flying over as a white heron or mallard duck or any number of other seabirds look up at a fellow winged beast.
It is a regular hiking spot for Steve and I. I enjoy photographing the foliage in silhouette against the sky …
… and the end of season seeds and berries about to hit the ground.
He enjoys collecting juniper berries for one of his special sauces. 😉
You can read more about Belle Isle here. And, you may read more about Steve’s Juniper Berry Sauce in the near future. Yum. Meanwhile, have a good Monday, folks.
In Morning Light …

Long ago, I found two white feathers in the deep dark woods beneath a towering tree. At least that’s the story I told a little girl in need of a fairy tale. In fact, I found these lovely wisps in an art store. I tucked them into a blue vase. Awaiting inspiration, I guess. Well, this Sunday, inspiration flooded through the windows as sunlight … as always, illuminating life’s simple beauty.
Halo
