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. 😉

I am not blue today, red with anger, or green with envy. Perhaps I am an opaque shade of brown and black and gray. A splash of burnt orange as the sun continues to rise?
Regardless, just a thoughtful mix of darker hues. That is what I feel as I watch the melting snow. Perhaps it is that falling water that makes me think of tears. Tears blur the world even as they rinse the eyes clean.

I only had to hop one fence, calm down one startled rabbit, and wade hip-deep through one muddy grove to reach the graveled path leading up to the power station. I had visited this area before and was curious what this season held for viewing. For the most part, I kept my camera aimed high hoping to catch sight of the hawk I’d seen before but then at some point I realized I should watch my footing on the icy rocks. I glanced down and this is what I saw.
In one small area ice sheets stretched. In some places water bubbled beneath the surface. Rocks and leaves were enveloped by sheer winter wraps. Later at home I played around a bit with the lighting. Revealed were bright stars in a dark sky and stained glass perfect for an outdoor cathedral.
One day later my hands are still cold from that impromptu icy shoot. But I think the numbness was worth it.

I believe in magic especially this winter as I’ve watched frost form upon the windows. Read more at Creativity Portal about the Winter Window Magic I’ve seen. Enjoy!

Ice upon windows is beautiful. At night that can be hard to remember as I shiver under the covers. But in the morning when the wintry sun strikes the delicate forms layered upon the glass … well, that’s a whole different situation, isn’t it? 😉
