The Space Between

What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time

If you find me not within you, you will never find me. For I have been with you, from the beginning of me. ~Rumi

Day 110 04-21-2017

I only went out 
for a walk and 
finally concluded to stay out till sundown, 
for going out, 
I found, was really going in.

Week 15 of 2017 - A Photograph a Day - Project 365

The fifteenth week of 2017, the 365 photograph a day project. This week started with a quick explore of an abandoned building, the rest of the week was mostly bound with flowers of spring--so fleeting that it's hard to ignore their brightness.

Week 14 of 2017 - A Photograph a Day - Project 365

The fourteenth week of 2017, the 365 photograph a day project. This week spring well and truly sunk her teeth into the earth and showed her might.

A garden should be natural-seeming, with wild sections, including a large area of bluebells.

Eleventh Week of 2017 - A Photograph a Day - Project 365

The eleventh week of the year, weather jumps from bitter cold to teasing warmth, the capriciousness of spring. Torn between longing to be out and about, capturing the change that spring brings to the landscape, and the desire to huddle inside, warm, waiting for sunshine and warm breezes.

Day 71 03-12-2017

Whenever sorrow comes, 

be kind to it.
For God has placed a pearl 

in sorrow’s hand.
~ Rumi

 

Day 72 03-13-2017

Snow and bitter cold threaten the blooming daffodils, 
so I cut bouquets to brighten 
the dark night.

Day 72 03-13-2017

Day 73 03-14-2017

Freezing cold temperatures,
freezing rain and snow coat
theblooming cherry blossoms
with ice. Some will survive, many will not - making those that survive all the more precious.

Day 74 03-15-2017

Bitter cold northern winds, sparrows huddle sparrows huddle in the fold of a cement wall for warmth.

Day 75 03-16-2017

Tulips in the snow. 
March is a cruel cruel month.

Day 76 03-17-2017

The only daffodils to survive the freeze were the ones I cut for the house. Bright faces holding back the cold.

Day 76 03-17-2017

Day 77 03-18-2017

Let the journey begin. iphoneography

Ninth Week of 2017 Project 365, A Photograph a Day

Continuing the compilation of the weeks photographs, this the ninth week of 2017. A week of work followed by a weekend roadtrip, unseasonably warm temperatures reverting to the standard cold for late winter / early spring. And so it goes...

Day 57 02-26-2017

Outside, looking in. My kitchen window, casting light into the backyard, lighting the tops of the grasses.

Day 58 02-27-2017

Willow, greening early in late February, spring is sneaking in ahead of schedule.

Day 59 02-28-2017

Sweet-smelling camelias, making their blowsy, showy presence known - signalling the end of February.

Day 60 03-01-2017

 iphone photo of the US Capitol in black & white, appearing timeless on a stormy day as March roars in.

Day 61 03-02-2017

Glorious star magnolia, the first of the magnolias to bloom. Sneaking in her blossoms in the early warmth of March.

Day 62 03-03-2017

A delightful surprise, an unexpected birthday gift from a dear friend.

Day 63 03-04-2017 Color

A road trip to Windber, Pennsylvania and the "trolley graveyard" was cold but beautiful. A treasure trove of old trolley cards, slowly yielding to the elements in the woods. The snow and the clouds a contrast to the rusting metal hulks. The same picture with two treatments, one in color, one in atmospheric black & white.

Winter's Landscape

There is beauty in every season.

Spring's beauty lies it shy emergence and delicate colors, a rising energy quickening the spirit.

Summer flaunts her lazy voluptuousness, bright colors, and hot languid days and nights.

Fall brings a different kind of quickening in the air, a feeling of brisk energy, bright colors exploding with one last passionate push.

Then there is winter...cold, silent, and seemingly dull. But winter. Winter speaks to my soul. She is truth laid bare, a promise of what might be, hope in the face of starkness. Winter touches my spirit with a frosty hand and reminds me that silence is a deepening treasure.

The Second Quarter of 2015, A Sampler of Photographs

I'm working on my fifth year of a 365 photography project. Every day, I make a photograph.

A photograph a day, marks the year, the passage of time - a kind of visual diary.

Today marks the end of the second quarter of the year...half-way through 2015.

April, May, and June have been the quarter of spring. Spring, when the earth awakens from the cold dark winter, and growth is expected, demanded. Spring appears to be a gentle unfolding, but it is a hard, sometimes brutal process.

For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, 

it must come completely undone. 

The shell cracks, its insides come out and 

everything changes. 

To someone who doesn't understand growth, 

it would look like complete destruction. 

~ Cynthia Occelli

 Following is a sample of the photographs for April, May, and June.

"If Only You Knew"

While spring is taking over the days, I try to hold it still for a moment.

Dawn Comes Early

 

Unable to sleep, I stop fighting for what I cannot have. 

 

The pre-dawn breeze through the open window is cold, 

Spring needs a winter coat this morning.

 

A mourning dove is huddled on the edge of the roof, 

and sings a cooing song...

calling the dawn.

 

Slowly, the world catches up and the light returns...

and with the light, glory.
