Shadows and early light

Lately I have been intrigued by the shadows and reflections on the bench in the kitchen. Love the way the winter light creates shadows and reflection off the stainless steel kettle and teapot; and the refraction of light through glass. The dots in the photo are the grain of the stone bench.

And of course there is always morning light. Though given that the sun is rising at 6.30am there is not a lot of light when I go walking at 6am.

But it comes good by 6.30am - sun rising in Treehaven Way (last Wednesday).

And enough light to show off a few fungi on my way home and on the block.

And then the soft light in the valley again at sundown today.

Light is such a gift - love it.

    Aren't reflections a joy to photograph? My favorites are those of sun thru a beverage glass. Enjoy!

    Those first photos are quite magical! I love the play of light. The fungi are beautiful, what a nice little collection. And of course, your views are always stunning ; you live in such a magnificent area.

    J, JM & C - glad you checked out these beauties that nature and light offer. J - had to laugh - favourite being light through beverage glass - too right. JM - thanks - might be inspiration for your next abstract. C - always a joy to share what we see as artists with other artists; and a bonus when we are fortunate to live in such glorious settings. Be inspired. B
