Chasing the light

The skies over the past few weeks have been grey —

So I’ve been chasing down the light.

I found it framed in golden fog

Hanging over the lake;

Framed

It danced over the football field

On fairy rainbow feet.

Snow rainbow

And, there – at last –

Like a cold winter flower

It blossomed in rays of light.

Rays in trees

  5. Light such as this, is what a delusional idiot as I runs to with pants on fire -with winged fairy feet of course of course. The shroud of sublime does mother nature wear. These have brighten my day, no doubt will warm my night. Yes, I too, can see, feel and soak in the magic which lives in these photographs; those artsy fairies run about.

  9. So many people commenting in here, it is a comment New Years Party!…Sometimes I wonder about you, are you a writer, a poet, a philosopher, an artist or a photographer. Gosh I think you are all of these things combined. I love how you took advantage of the mist and made such great pictures out of it.

  10. A fantastically dramatic landscape – even more remarkable for being made of items that taken separately are NOT particularly dramatic!! As a drama queen, I do appreciate the sunburst in your last photo!

  11. I am hungry for poetry today. I came to your blog and found an abundant feast prepared for all who visit. But that was not a surprise; you have been cooking up poetry and beauty for a long time — certainly longer than I have been visiting. Bless you.
