Good Morning Sunshine

The morning sun casts a certain light that makes my garden glow. It's not that this place isn't great any other time of the day, but when sunlight enters at a low angle and gives everything a magical touch, I'm compelled to capture it.

Even the shade garden gets a taste of sunshine bright and early every day. Dew drops sparkle, petals flutter translucent, and my heart is gladdened to be in the presence of all that magnificence.

This is my favourite place in the world. Do you have one, a place that makes you grin from ear to ear and hum happy songs? Does it make your heart soar?

Wood, Metal, Glass

This collection consists of my favourite objects around the house.  I am fascinated with wrought iron scroll patterns, wooden medallions, glass bottles, rocks, crystals, and other pretty things.  These are the first of many photos I'll be adding to the set.

Apparition

 This eerie little figure appeared in the upstairs hallway of my home. She sat waiting for me, as I turned the corner and stepped up from the final stair. I had my camera in hand, but it wasn't on, or set up for any particular shot.

Obviously, this is no ghost; it's our beautiful cat Paisley. She was sitting pretty so I took the picture without adjusting the focus. It could have made a nice, 'ordinary' picture if I had focused on her properly. And to be honest, I'm glad I didn't. I prefer this result.
