All that glitters. . . . . . .

 
Chandelier shadows
On sunny winter morning
Glitter on the walls




Waking up to another bright and beautiful winter morning. 
 I'm thankful.
Nights are getting colder. 
Possible snow is in the forecast for the coming weekend.

  1. It has brightened here too and Jane is especially thankful because she was worried her tortoise would wake if it stayed so mild. Truly, she was! And perhaps, now I think, that helps put things in perspective - we have little to worry about in historical terms and much to celebrate. Including sunlight that's like glitter on the walls. Take care. M

    1. Hope Jane's tortoise stays well. My brother has Tommy tortoise in his French garden - has been there forever - well at least the 18 years they've lived in the house! He always hibernates under the same row of shrubs along a stone wall. It was the corn merchant's house and is over 200 years old. . . . . and fabulous. Doubt Tommy has been there quite that long though!

    1. Thank you so much Helen.
      It's been years since I've written much Haiku but today something told me I needed to recognize the lovely light from the chandelier crystals with a few words!!! I feel the need to do this more often.
      Hugs - Mary

  3. It's cold here too. Not so cold that it will show but enough.

  4. Dearest Mary,
    Shadows can indeed at times resemble little crystals.
    You are of course in the snow zone but here we don't see any I'm afraid.
    That is so seldom.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  5. When the winter sun slants into my rooms, I am nearly always tempted to take photos, but I doubt I'd manage to capture the play of light and shadow as good as you did.
    Below freezing here for the past two or three nights, but still no snow...

  6. Beautiful and clever photos, dear Mary. I hope you get a pretty dusting of snow, not too cold. Still hot and humid here :) xx

  8. The loveliest of glitter - it doesn't need cleaning up! Hope the snow is beautiful for you. We've warmed up considerably.
