Light and shadow


Snowfall and morning light combine to give us lovely shadows.  Shortly after waking this morning, with the first sun since yesterday's snowfall, I went out to have a look.  I loved seeing the curved shadows of the blueberry bush, and the straight edge of the back step.


One advantage of winter (for a photographer) is that the sun stays so low in the sky.  Sure, it means the days are short and the weather is cold.  But the shadows are beautifully long and elegant, even if I sleep until 9:00.


Not enough snow to cover the stone wall (so far).  It has its own version of dark and light.


Inside the house, the storm windows are coated with the bright frost crystals contrasting against a darker outdoors.


And a cup of tea to warm me back up!
