Out my window on a breezy day, as the sun heads down toward the western horizon -- movements of my maple branches bounce dapples of light on my gauzy curtain. I'm spellbound by the moving whiteness -- it has a meditative quality. I sit watching the sunlight dance in sync to nature's sounds heard just outside my open front door.
Sometimes we just have to wonder at what our camera captures.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is way too cool Barbara! It just needs a mysterious story to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteSo peaceful!
ReplyDeleteAs beautiful as a painting!
ReplyDeleteHello Barbara:
ReplyDeleteWhat a memorable moment you have captured here with your camera. The light is indeed entrancing and, from this side of the computer screen, just looking at the image and reading your words and we were there!
The emotion in words match the photograph. Peace and serenity heartfelt.
ReplyDeleteA lovely poetic passage and photo Barbara, very evocative of the peace of a summer's evening.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Both the comment and the picture.
ReplyDeleteBirdman -- your camera captures wonderful photos. I appreciate that you stop by and leave such nice comments. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLouise -- Sometimes one stops and absorbs the immediate moments. Thanks for the comment -- barbara
ReplyDeleteRose, Watching light dance is very hypnotic for many people. It can be light dancing on waves through curtains, or leaves while lying under a tree. I'm sure there are other examples. -- Thanks -- barbara
ReplyDeleteMama-Bug -- Yes, perhaps one could write a mystery story around this photo. Thanks for stopping by -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLinda -- My mood was very introspective when I noticed the light dancing. Perhaps that is why I found it calming -- Thanks -- barbara
ReplyDeleteJane and Lance -- thanks for the kind comments. I'm sure you have caught such moments as you go about your days. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLiving in the present moment. Always the best. I haven't had a window open in years. I do have gauzy curtains on most of my windows, however and if ever the breeze blew and did not carry spent fuel, I would love to open them and watch the curtains flutter once again.
ReplyDeleteSheri -- Thanks -- if only I could paint that well -- barbara
ReplyDeleteGrampy -- Somedays we just need just peace and serenity -- thanks -- barbara
ReplyDeleteDianne -- Fortunately I live where country air prevails. Spent fuel spells cities. Here about the only thing spent is energy from the wind and sun. Thanks -- barbara
ReplyDeleteHow delightful! I can feel the cool air from here, Barbara!!
ReplyDeleteElora
Beautiful. I feel the first hints of autumn in the air...
ReplyDeleteElora -- We all need some cool air after all the heat -- fall is in the air here, just a little bit mind you. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteTess -- as do I. My favorite time of the year in fact. Thanks for stopping by -- barbara
ReplyDeleteOh yes, now that you mention it, I love to watch sunlight playing on the water at the beach, like so many sparks.
ReplyDeleteWhat an altogether pretty post! Your photo and your words are so peaceful, I had a frantic, difficult day and it soothed me.
ReplyDeleteThe photo puts me in mind of a Wyeth painting, only more cheerful! :-)
Laloofah -- Not pleasant to have a bothersome day. I feel good that this little photo was soothing to you. You really make me feel good comparing it to a Wyeth as he is one of my favorites. thanks so much -- barbara
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shot. Could be a good book cover!
ReplyDeleteVicki -- thanks for the comment. Never thought of it as a book cover but maybe a mystery. -- barbara
