drifting down
covering the mostly naked branches of trees in the Middlesex Fells
mostly naked I say because up high leaves still bathed in the fading light
until even that light disappeared and all that remained was a transient glimmer of gold in the air
and a dusting of dark rose upon the land

… butterflies in a mobile that a friend gave to me several years ago,
dried flowers disintegrating at a wonderfully slow pace,
oak leaves shining like jewels in a coronet,
and water dissipating on a window pane.

Today I was a bit housebound with various projects. Still, the sunlit landscape called to me on many an occasion. As I have written before I am lucky to live in an old house well-kept in its old style with many windows of ancient rippled glass on all sides, some of which are double and even triple paned. It is both exhilarating and calming to move from pane to pane, over time, and try to capture an ever-shifting beauty from sunrise to sunset.

One day, the landlord will have to cut down this tree before a strong wind blows it down on top of the house, a car or a person. Branches have already begun to break loose and litter the ground. But for now it stands tall, if a bit rickety, creating great beauty in its silhouette. I took this photo through the sheer cotton curtains covering the kitchen window.

I saw and photographed the reflection …
… before I turned to look over my shoulder and photograph the real thing.

This weekend Steve and I were lucky enough to spend a couple of hours in the woods of the Brooks Estate surrounded by blues and browns, sheets of ice and, of course, layered light. We brought along food to entice the squirrels but few did we see this time. Maybe next week. 😉
