Dancing With the Light...

While trying to stay true to my promise of slowing down this year, I was lazily putzing around Museville with coffee in hand as the morning sun peeked over the guest house roof and streamed into the dining room in the Main House - within minutes it traveled through a mountain of crystals and washed the walls in the most beautiful light show. I had to move quickly - I have a pile of things to photograph for the shop and I couldn't let this light go to waste ...

A few of the new antique bottles slated for Greyfreth Cross bottles and some yummy grain sacks.


Some Greyfreth goodies -- One of the grain sacks that just came in, an antique dough bowl and last season's hydrangeas from my garden, now dried.




As the sun elevated into the crisp cerulean sky, the light show inside increased dramatically.


I get so sidetracked from product shooting - the texture caught my full attention.



I am such a texture addict and this had my heart racing.


It was a very short window because the pepper tree would rain on this lovely parade with its enormous and very low canopy - blocking out much of this magical light. I sped through photo after photo, vignette after vignette, gorgeous item after gorgeous item -- all bathed in varying refractions from the prisms and the golden early morning light.





I love this shot - the cello is one of my most favorite possessions - and all the different light, texture and color that was in front of me... the beauty was overwhelming -- at least to me.



After uploading the photos, I decided to start playing with them (I told you I was easily distracted!)















Anyway - that was my morning fun - chasing the light and trying to cage it within the confines of my camera -- forever mine -- on film.

All of the Greyfreth goodies will be available online later this week.


Off into the day I go.

Hi Isa,

I have called in often, but the first time I have left a comment. I really enjoy reading your blog and the pictures today look really beautiful. I love the cross bottles and all those grain sacks are absolutely stunning. Natural light into a room can make everything look so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Take Care

Isa,
I love that you capture your images so perfectly and then play for different textures. Do you play the 'cello?
I used to (actually have a degree in 'cello performance'). Love the grain sacks.
