Transitions - the in between

Both Fiona and I were a little amazed this morning by the fact that the early mornings seem to be getting darker quite speedily. The photo above was taken a about 5.30am.

But the light began to suffuse the sky quite quickly - the photo below was taken about 30minutes later. And a few minutes later - beautiful colours lighting up a scaled cloud sky.

The light  transition reminded me of one of John O'Donohue's blessings - For the interim time - the in between time. I want to focus on that in my future letterpress print work.

It was a gentle morning for a walk. Again a few fragments along the way.

I met Trish and her dogs on my walk - we had quite the talk (at a distance) about a number of people she knows who are ill and dying - she was struggling with these on top of the challenges of our virus time. Different forms of transition and in between.

But I end with a glorious sunset sky from a couple of days ago - clouds brushed across the sky.
