Capturing the Light

For some reason my blog, though updated, is opening here. Please click on home at the bottom of this post until I can figure out how to fix this - sorry for the inconvenience!
Early this morning, I was reminded of Sarah MacLachlan's lovely rendition of "Ordinary Miracle"as I glanced out our east window. Often I attempt to capture the changes in light. But today there were thousands of Franklin gulls swirling above our fields. They are hard to photograph because they move in waves so rapidly that it's as if you're trying to take pictures of the wind.

If you like mosaics you'll meet some wonderfully talented photographers at Mary's Little Red House .

  1. Beautiful photos Sheila!!

    No i don't volunteer in Sam's school. I volunteered in his class till grade 2 then your not needed but i did volunteer in the JK class of his old school. I'm really busy with my home and my husband is home and blogging keeps me very busy. As busy as i get i still very much miss family and my friends...this will take time!
    Thanks for your concern though appreciated. This is what i love about blogging meeting great people with the same interests!!

  4. Hi Sheila,

    I love the light, too. It's fun to get up early for the "golden hour" at sunrise.

  13. Very pretty mosaic and love the birds. I tried to photograph a flock like that recently and it was tough! You never know when they are going to move.
