Shedding light
London, ON, October 2007 [Click to enlarge]
I've saved this picture as the backdrop on my BlackBerry. Every time I check my e-mail, I'm inspired to look for the wonder in the simple things around me. This may be just a tree. But it's our maple tree, the one that's been growing steadily on our front lawn ever since we can remember, the one that shades the big rock that the kids play on and that the dog tries to climb when he's chasing squirrels, the one that happily escaped damage during last week's freak snowstorm (see my Flickr set for more on that.)
This photo continues last week's Thematic Photographic theme, night. It's not too late to submit yours - we're always happy to have oodles of participants - by clicking here.
Looking ahead, I'll be posting the new TP entry on Wednesday evening at precisely 7:00 p.m. ET. Per our new tradition, I'm happy to give you a sneak peek at the next theme to give you a chance to mull over what you'd like to submit. Our next theme is...autumn!
Have fun...and thanks!
Your turn: Got a picture that inspires you in some way? Do tell!
Beautiful shot. I can see why it's inspiring to you.
ReplyDeleteApparently I was hanging out in your brain a bit, because I've already jumped the gun on TP this week with my WW entry. :D
Great shot. I like keeping photos of our neighborhood and home around the house and as wallpapers. My iPhone currently has one of our trip to Maui but the Blackberry I think I left as a default. I hate using that desktop manager.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fantastic picture, Carmi. And with a 'Crackberry'... what a talent! I can use the best camera available and I won't get even close to that... :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW day!
My WW post...
"Let the sun shine in, meet it with a grin..."
ReplyDeleteThose from the Flintstone's era will remember this song!
As always, my sweet you capture beauty through your lense!
I love this picture!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to figure out the night settings on my bridge camera.
Happy WW!
I like capturing light on a tree or flower. It looks so ethereal!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how one simple little reminder can help you to focus on the important things in life.
ReplyDeleteI was able to find a little night this week. Not sure if I did it justice though!
Happy Tuesday!
That's the kind of shot the word "gobsmacking" was invented for!
ReplyDeleteMy WW follows the Thematic prompt today too. And I have one more offering for Thematic Photographic:
Thematic Photographic 22: Night v.7.0 - Drive-By Lighting
What is today anway? I can get another one in can't I?
Oh, and those sad pictures at the ACC? You can start shooting any time now. The Canes just took a 5-4 OT win from the Leafs.
Happy WW! That is a truly remarkable image. YES WE CAN!
ReplyDeleteI invite your blog readers to see America's First Family!

I really like this photo.
ReplyDeleteAutumn? I'll have to dig in my archives for that one, it's six months away here.
Wow, that is a beautiful photo. The lights coming through the leaves are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI looooove how the rays pass through the branches!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Just stunning, Carmi. Those rays shining through are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteNow if you will excuse me, I'm about to go to bed happier than I have been in 8 years.
Happy WW!

How is Zach feeling this week?
