Mosaic Monday: Dreaming of Spring

Image
After several days of intermittent snowfall and periods of temps in the teens and 20s, icy sidewalks and traffic inconveniences, it's finally warmed up into the thirties. I knew when I first roused this morning, because I could hear the raindrops drumming against the skylight in my bathroom. So I fed the hungry felines, then cozied back up in my comfy bed and willed myself to dream spring into being. I'm not very good at playing Mother Nature, just taking pictures of her handiwork in my garden once she's done her job. Visit Mary and the other players at  Mosaic Monday .

Shadow Shot Sunday: Symbols

Image
A place of sacrifice, prelude to resurrection. A sign of obedience to the will of the Creator. Homage to faith,  to trusting with your whole being that there is a plan for your life whether or not you can understand it. There are life lessons to be learned, places in the heart so deep and rich that they are unfathomable. Whether or not you believe and worship, it is an object of beauty, made with loving hands. Shadow Shot Sunday

Weekend Reflection: As Dawn Breaks

Image
Weekend Reflection . Dawn encroaches on the turf so recently claimed by darkness, bringing soft blues, hints of spun-sugar pink, layers of blue-gray clouds that will meander through before allowing the sun full reign. Most of the city still sleeps. Street lamps are still lit and bounce their light off the placid waters of the canal. Grand old buildings admire their reflection another day. A few watercraft chug along, bringing supplies. The vaporettos chuff into the Rialto stops,  largely empty. The narrow passageways and piazzas belong to carriers of cameras and tripods for a few minutes more, before shopkeepers appear with buckets of water and brooms to make ready for business.

For Mosaic Monday , I thought I'd show you how fun it was to work with models in period costume in Venice. Beautiful sisters in beautiful gowns.

Weekend Reflection: Linens and Lace

Image
Weekend Reflections. sometimes you don't see what's right in front of your eyes until it's too late  I stopped and admired the lace things in this window on my photo walk that began just as the sun was rising but I never noticed at the time how Venice just insisted on getting in the picture. That camera hog!

Opening Doors

Image
Doors to the past and future to greater freedom to understanding to new beginnings. Let's open them and let the light shine in. A prayer for inevitable change in a climate of peace.
