Jeweled Sequences Qualities of Light














These little jewels and the glimmering dancing background are in total contrast to the bleak and howling night, as the moon rises over Walnut Hill casting shadows over a snow-white landscape. There is one shattered charcoal shadow that tears at my heart, for it is my beloved Black Cherry torn apart by raging winds. Though now dormant, I know it must be weeping deep within the dark folds of earth.

  1. Trees have such character and individuality, so much sense of history lived - I'm sorry for the loss of the Black Cherry.

    These photographs are all lovely, with the magic of anything showing a hummingbird, but I especially love the detail of the bee and just the tip of the bird's wing.

  4. Dear Carol, I'm delighted you like both of the pictures I posted this morning. Yes, the second one was shot during a foggy morning, it's the overview of a little pier near the place I was born 3 decades ago. Light changes every hour in this part of Britany, this is a place of Heaven.
