more ice on the windows
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged beauty, ice, Inspiration, nature, Photography, water, winter on January 7, 2014| 7 Comments »
Clearly, I don’t live in the most insulated house in the world.
But if I did, I don’t know how I would experience this beauty to be found on windows first thing in the morning.
Of course, as I write these words, I am reminded of folks who say that I tend to find the bright side of any situation.
But I wasn’t trying to come to terms with the cold this morning as I wandered from window to window. I reflected on the fact that different windows had different displays of ice from individual crystals to long glittering strands to sheets of ice thinly covering whole window panes.
The most surprising find of the morning was the rainbow. I stood next to an especially patterned window just as the light shifted or I shifted or whatever … all I know is I saw a rainbow and it was lovely. 😉
ice at belle isle

As I post this picture taken yesterday of ice on a Belle Isle trail, I look out the kitchen window and view light dancing upon water. Not river or pond water but water pooling upon asphalt. Heavy rains in New England at the moment, and the light that shines down is street and car lights. Red, gold, green. In this photo, the sun was setting and illuminating wonderful patterns at my feet of water cradling rocks and broken glass and bits of grass.
a song of rain, and images

At the bottom of this post is a video of Ladysmith Black Mambazo singing Rain Rain Beautiful Rain. A friend shared the song with me and I promised her when it next rained that I would share the song with others.
Well today is a very, very rainy and gray day in the Boston area.
Rainy and gray …
and still beautiful.
winter’s light revisited

It has been almost two years since my photo essay Winter’s Light appeared in Talking Writing.
Of course I still love the light of this approaching season.
With that winter’s light in 2011, I focused on the illumination of “ordinary objects,” from condensation to old postcards hung on a wall.
With this morning’s near-winter light, I was struck by the illumination of branching fingers of ice.
To view such scenes at the start of the day feels magical. Feels cold, too, but still magical. 😉

“If we are a drop of water and we try to get to the ocean as only an individual drop, we will surely evaporate along the way. To arrive at the ocean, you must go as a river.” — Thich Nhat Hanh in Creating True Peace
