. . . of light
"This is the play of light,
it enters through the
borders of being. It
occupies each particle
of the air. The air becomes
shining seed. It squirms.
It dances."

Light,
it is simply essential in life
and through the lens
our own light
and that required in a photograph
we paint it on canvases
one tells a story, the other lives it
we seek it in life to keep away the darkness
through the lens the darkness
will show us the way to the light.
It reveals and defines
gives structure and form
it glows, cascades, eludes
light is ever changing and magical
and sets the mood for everything
misty, bright, beautiful
early morning or at dusk
reflective, gentle, diffused
mysterious, dreamlike, and at times even brusk

I am a seeker and finder of things
I paint with light, moments at a time
through a hole in a box.
I am also over at Focusing on Life today, musing about capturing the same light
and creating art not represented in a traditional way. What? Your just gonna have

Light is the magic inside the photograph.
You know how to take advantage of the light in every photo. Well done.
Such amazing captures of this light! Love your post kim!
Hi Kim,
I am having some dark days here. I stopped in quick to look at your photos and your interpretation of light is gorgeous. Blessings.
Love your description of how you paint with light and your gorgeous images!
These are gorgeous! I need to seek out the blessing of nature's light more. I think in this insanely snowing (yes, its snowing right now) winter is to just retreat and turn the lamp on. Must find light!!!
It's all about the light, and you definitely understand that. Thank you for sharing such beautiful, light filled shots today.
Love this exploration of light and how you need both light and dark to show the other.
What a great post and beautiful photos. :)
You created magic with this light. Every photo is breathtaking.
splendid images and lovely words...I love the way light dances and I love the way your images have taken up that dancing.
Yes, it is all about the light. Beautiful images. I love the grasses in the foreground.
Such magnificent images with gorgeous light! Beautiful, beautiful words Kim!
Love all the light photographs and quotes, but my favorite is the one of the house. The rays coming down through the trees at that angle is beautiful.
You really capture light in a beautiful way! And you write beautifully...
This is breathtaking and I so enjoyed the post over at Focusing on Life--I am going to try the abstract photography--can't wait!
Simply beautiful!
The streams of light coming thru the trees is a sight for sore eyes. Thank you. xo
stunning images wonderful soft evening light
So beautiful
Stunning photos and a great light composition.
These shots are stunning! I love the way the light floods into the photos. And I really love the way you've adjusted the focus in the depth of field in many of them.
Visiting from Texture Tuesday.
You captured the beautiful essence of light in these shots...Heading over to Focusing on Life....
You are most definitely a light seeker - your images glow with that magical quality of good light. I love that last thought - of being a "painter with light...through a hole in a box." Wonderful!
Great captures of light, Kim !
And wonderful words ...
Nice week,
Sylvia
All your images are lovely, Kim, as always. I especially enjoyed the shot of the marsh grasses against the sunrise - wonderful! Have a blessed week!
You also have the best sunsets wonderful light Kim
Awesome images of light! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Wow, these are stunning! I think you need to be crowned the light queen!
Your photos are lovely -- and your writing is exquisite. "It occupies each particle of the air." The subject of light is one of my favorites. I'm moved by your post.
Beautiful light! I think my favourite is the first one.
Wundervolle, prächtige Fotos, die zum Träumen einladen. Augenblicke - für immer eingefangen.
Liebe Grüße

Just beautiful
You really found some gorgeous light! Love the rays of light over the house. Dreamlike.
I love your "light captures" always...but I am also truly impressed with your beautiful thoughts and poetic language.
Breathtaking! The thoughts shared and the imagery are put together so beautifully!
I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite here. They are all so beautiful.
What lovely photos of light. Your verse goes so well with them.
Light is the one thing that we all seek. You found it my friend. Xo
Beautiful light -- something a photographer always chases.
