Sunlight study, 24

Afternoon sun on a stack of antique books, a small antique iron bar, a photo of our house before we owned it, a cool triangle rock, a bird's nest complete with origami swan, and a ceramic bird I just like (and a random coaster that should be put away).

Sunlight study 22

Happened to catch some afternoon sunlight.  It has such a different clear and cool quality to the morning sun's blazing warmth.

Oh, the moon!

So, the moon rose full and beautiful over our backyard mountain last night.  Gorgeous.  Truly.  And, I messed up capturing it royally (although I NAILED the deep blue color of the sky - completely by accident!).
2013-03-26 Truth be told, I mostly use my fancy schmancy camera on auto most of the time.  So, tonight, I'm out freezing my butt off, trying not only to remember what to adjust my settings to, but how to even do it on my bleeping camera.  Sigh.  Back to moon school for me (that was one of my favorite posts, so here's the link again for those who just skimmed over that...moon school).  Good news is, this gives me a nice goal - to work on capturing the moon rise over the next several months (especially as it warms up).

Shells from our recent trip to Nokomis, Florida, a photo of Paul and I at our undergrad graduation from Stonehill College (perched on an old chicken waterer), a fan Emma brought home from China last April, and copious amounts of dust.

So close and yet....

While I am certainly ready for spring's hope filled warmth and sunshine....
DSC_8542
...this snow is very pretty...no one has to go anywhere today, so the snow blower is quiet, the shovels stand idle for now, and there is not a foot print to be seen...
DSC_8544
...such a beautiful quietude...

...wrapping myself up in this blanket today, mug of coffee, stack of books.
