Notch

Spied through a narrow notch in the trees down the street, this spectacular sight was almost lost in the rush to get to work. It’s important to keep eyes up and roving lest we miss things.

Contrast

On the ground, all is still dark, hidden. Above, a riot of colour and beauty.

Magic, again

Life is so full of magic, beauty. It’s good to stop, appreciate, give thanks for these seemingly small things.

Sun

This morning, I decided to take a photo of our neighbour the pine tree reaching out for the clear sky shortly before sunrise. If the weather forecast holds true we will see little of the sky for the next few days. The sky will be grey instead, and we may get a lot of rain. Our Christmas is unlikely to be white. That’s fine, I don’t need snow to appreciate a special day.

Dull?

This season’s colours are muted. The sky is often cloudy, blue-grey for days at a time. Fields are shades of tan, brown, dun. Dull? Perhaps, to some sensibilities. My sensitivity to shades and grades of colour is heightened, sharpened. I try to appreciate these muted scenes for their own beauty.
