Monday morning, from 10 to 11

by Judy Schwartz Haley

The magic happens every day, but I don’t always take the time to stop and notice.

In just an hour of paying attention:

The air is the perfect temperature – not so warm or cold as to demand attention.

Watching an artist become

The little one exploring – getting familiar with Mother Nature

And Mother Nature says hi right back.

A mama bird feeding her chicks…

A perfect rosebud…

Mother Nature reclaiming a chair…

I find the magic every time I look for it. I just have to remember to look.

Every day is a gift.

WW Linkup
Every week I host a photo linkup where we share posts featuring a photo. It started out being called Wordless Wednesday, but… Bloggers? Wordless? Then we started calling it Wordy Wednesday. Now we just abreviate to WW, and you pick for yourself whether or not to get wordy.

Link up your photo post below to share, and we’ll be by to visit.

Photography as a meditation

by Judy Schwartz Haley

I stalk the light, and the world fades away.
There is only this moment,
this camera,
this flower,
this light.

Which camera? Irrelevant:
an old beater, camera phone, DSLR…
it doesn’t matter.

The flower – deconstructed
petal, stamen,
line, curve,
color.

I capture the light, not the flower
The way the light moves and flexes,
around and through,
reflection,
absorption,
glow.

In the end, it’s not even about me;
it’s about embracing the light.

Grasping at Bubbles

by Judy Schwartz Haley

Writing has been difficult lately. I feel like I’m chasing soap bubbles, and the moment I grasp a nugget, a train of thought, an approach, an angle, it disappears into nothingness before I can pin it to paper.
