 Some fiery light and shadow photos from this past fall, to warm up cold, wintry days.      More light and shadow photos from 2015. Look closely -- do you see the small dewdrop in the shadow of the largest one? The shadow of seeds flying away from the dandelion head -- and the seeds? All four dragonfly wings? The shadow of a leaf on a leaf? The "shadow" of a leaf long since gone?      Continuing this retrospective of 2015, with the Light and Shadow theme, I'm very glad to be enjoying these memories of spring and summer sunshine in the warmth of my study. There was sunshine today, but the high was under 10 degrees Fahrenheit -- not the best temperature for camera work.      As I looked through photos from last year, I found a number of them coming together under a theme of Light and Shadow. Here are some from last January and February.      One last round on this retrospective of 2015 images that are Catching the Light, with photos from November and December -- a leaf from the Japanese maple at the peak of color, just before the leaves fell; a milkweed seed; maple keys; red-tail hawk; Advent wreath.      October and November golden light, captured by leaves.      Early fall -- September sunrise on the Three Sisters in Canmore, Alberta, flowers from the St. Louis Botanical Garden, and an Indiana leaf, catching the light.      Part two on this retrospective of photos from 2015 -- catching the light in Seattle, Harrisonburg, and Goshen during May and June.  Sunset, Summer solstice 2015     More from 2015 -- summer months, with Virginia skies, Michigan beach stones, and Indiana flowers.      I've been going through my 2015 photos, planning on a retrospective of the year to brighten up this colder, often grayer season. I found that the pictures that caught my eye varied depending on the theme or title I had in mind. So we may have several retrospectives in the weeks ahead. Today is the first installment on the theme of Catching the Light, mostly taken during the first quarter of the year.     |
