handmade light ball (made of clay) we bought years ago at an artisan Christmas market - still love it. You only need one tea light to let it glow and reveal its beautiful pattern : ))

Eine handgefertigte 'Leuchtkugel' aus Ton, die wir vor Jahren auf einem Kunsthandwerker-Weihnachtsmarkt erstanden haben - ich erfreue mich immer noch an ihr (nicht nur zur Weihnachtszeit) ... man benötigt nur ein einziges Teelicht, um sie leuchten und das schöne Muster erscheinen zu lassen : ))

für die Gruppe Smile on Saturday - Thema: Hell und Dunkel / Licht und Dunkelheit

Ein schönes Wochenende und einen glücklichen 3. Advent euch allen !!

Angels are intelligent reflections of light, that original light which has no beginning. They can illuminate. They do not need tongues or ears, for they can communicate without speech, in thought.

I seem to be shooting a lot in the dark these days. A lot to do with the time of year I guess.

But slowly the days are getting longer and it's a full moon tonight.

This was shot from my garden a few nights ago.

These are rain droplets on a metal hand rail beside some steps in my local High Street. A slight bend in the hand rail generated the shadow.

Thanks for visiting.....

You take care out there.

They say that when your ears are burning, it means that someone is talking about you. In this case though, my ears weren't really burning; it was just the effect of sunlight shining through a high window behind me, and the look seemed like a good fit for the Smile On Saturdays "Light And Dark" theme. :-)

Entanglement deep in the forest in the grip of Winter.

a long path toward the light

I walk in their shade

I wasn't sure about this one... it grew over time.

Wish you a good journeys this week :-)

This shot was taken a year or so back at one of our Chalet Jams. There were three drummers that weekend taking turns.

Smile On Saturday - Light and Dark

This photo was taken during a sunnier season. The harsh midday sunlight created some nice dark shadows around the frog and foliage. Sometimes I need to take a walk through my archives during the dark and gloomy part of the year. :-)

Bird or photograph?

Some will lean more towards the photo...

(Impact/Quality/Event)

Some will lean more towards the bird...

(Rarity/Eye-catching/Popular)

I'm probably 65/35% in favour of the photo

And then 60%+ The impact of that photo

So this shot (for me) ticks many of my boxes

But it may not tick many of yours

And there's no criticism implied by saying that

It's just how you feel about your hobby

And after all., it's in only a Starling!
