Now head over to Sweet Aqua Photography for her past week of beautiful images!
This week's theme is shadows. Powerful, dramatic, soft or serene, so many different ways of creating them. If I'm being honest, I'm a bit addicted to them these days, partly because I've become consumed with light. Whether I have my camera or not, I find myself watching the way light hits a wall, the shadow it creates in a hallway, the catchlights in my children's eyes. I love exploring light- experimenting with it, acknowledging it, discovering it. These images are from last week, when the sky was clear, the sun was bright & the fresh dust of snow was melting away. We had the living room door wide open & Ella did some exploring. Our deck railing provided some good shadows indoors. Is it strange I want window blinds just for their shadows? I absolutely adore the shadows that they create. The deck railing sort of provides a different twist on that for me.
Now head over to Sara Kelly's blog to view her shadows & continue on our 26 Friday's blog circle.
This winter has lacked snow, which of course is strange because we live in Alaska. Stereotypes aside, we're actually on an island with a maritime climate. While one day we may be 20 degrees, blue skies, sunny & covered in a pristine blanket of snow, the next day it could be 40, foggy, windy & wet. You just never know. Last winter was abnormally normal. Very cold, very long & lots of snow. The consistency was actually nice, but getting snow in May (on Mother's Day) is not one of my fondest memories. The boys' have been asking to snowboard, snowshoe, sled, etc., but it hasn't worked out too well, without the snow. So we welcomed our weekend blizzard. The blanket is beautiful & the boys have been playing in it, a lot. The other night we went outside, just before dinner. We're light after six now, which is an exciting transition (in November/December, it gets dark in the 4:00-ish range). The boys' ran, they jumped, they played, they danced. There was an eerie silence that accompanied us. As well as one mischievous three-year old who thought he owned the road.
