beyond the glass - Orion keeps a sentry path, arc of the perpetual cradle rocking

beyond the glass - hopping Juncos harvest spilled bounty from the ground, the most P.C. of local-food gurus

beyond the glass - stalactite ice imprisons snow-scarred canyon walls

beyond the glass - neighbors’ woolly-fur Main coon wriggles delight into my driveway in the noon-day sun

beyond the glass - chill dense green needle shroud, morning fog weeping a night lament

beyond the glass - the yellow line dashes & double bar bends, corners hard into the trees - touching the white every now & again

beyond the glass - recognition falters, the left cheekbone wrinkle grid, trifocaled eyes, silver tinsel in the hair - strange premonition mocking

Well, I have to say, first of all that I love the use of ‘beyond the glass.’ Such a gorgeous motif.

I love every image so much I can’t decide which one is my favourite -
‘Stalactite ice imprisons snow’
This is just such a strong image. The power in it when you say it aloud reverberates through the room.

‘Morning fog weeping a night lament’ envelopes me with a shawl made of mist. I am enchanted by that image.

So lovely, Kayt. So lovely.

I love this way of looking out the window at what you see - you’re so wonderfully artistic with your words!

many thanks for such kind words :-) - I really do love the frame any kind of window puts on the world - like photography I guess…
