Autumn In A Vase


"Autumn In A Vase"
Digital Photo

Sometimes I really like black and white images, especially when there are shadows involved. It gives a sense of mystery. I had placed a few Fall leaves into a small vase and set it on a table. It just seemed the leaves and vase wanted to be buddies. The early morning sun streaming in through the windows created some intriguing effects, giving the image an abstract feel. There appears to be a hint of red emanating from one of the leaves and extending downward into the vase, which is a nice focal point to lead the eye into the image. A bit of contrast can be a good thing. So I'm grateful for leaves and sunshine and for a potter's creation. All merging to make something new.

It's amazing what Autumn can do for the creative soul. I am thankful this Season is jump-starting me. Keep on falling, leaves......

The "fall" is the beginning of the end but of course with every ending there is a new beginning if we look for it. And there is always great beauty in both, as caputured in your actions,your beautiful photograph and your words.

Soon the yellow leaves will fall like rain and the bed beneath will need witnessing. Great to see a new picture and post... I know there's a bunch more photos waiting.

Wow, I get a mysterious vibe from this photo! It looks like a Genie's bottle with a smoky feeling in the shadow and the light around it, but the darkness gives off a good feeling like something is abut to happen!
