Another image taken on 2 January, but in 2009. I loved the way the candle-lights left subtle reflections on the woodwork.
A setting sun on spring snow melt, taken 24 March, 2009.
The day before the Winter Solstice, 20 December, 2009 as I awaited word from JCB. Another storm and another Christmas with uncertain travel plans. Honestly, sometimes I wish Christmas was in July!
A shot through the cottage window at dusk, 13 August, 2009.
I always wonder if my camera will see the same dark shadows and reflected light when evening fades to night. I like the spontaneity of capturing the atmosphere as the day comes to a close so I seldom use a flash or a tripod. I love the unpredictable results and even the inevitable noise.
