A Silver Sky ~ a study in black and white

January 11, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Frozen Trees (BW) 2

To see the world with different eyes is to live differently. There is an incredible beauty to the snow, trees, and ice again a perfect and rich blue sky … which was on display when I took these, the next to last in my Ice Storm series. Yet to take away the colour of the…

From Shadows into Dream

January 10, 2015 by Dale Leave a Comment

Falling From the light into the darkness Heart breaks Aching For starlight To steal the night. Walking From darkness into light Heart swells Whole and healthy Beating Sunshine into The rhythm of your veins Rising From shadows into dream.

Tails of Ice

January 10, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Entranced by the colours of these warm ‘cattails’ … or ‘bull-rushes’ as we called them when I grew up. I still remember vividly the effect my childish hoarding of the fall rushes in my father’s shed had one warm day in spring when they all burst back to life and filled the shed and all…

Frozen in Time

January 9, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Frozen Leaf (landscape)

As you can tell by this, the fifth in my series (a series that has lots of legs), I’m totally enthralled by what the Ice Storm did to transform the landscape and all that is in it. From the branches with which I started, to a stem of milk weed, to the branch of a…

Captured Caught … Held

January 5, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Frozen Branches

Captured caught and held — still within your embrace Frozen seconds bound together — my tears run cold Sky chained from white to grey — yearning I cannot bend Prisms imprison the daylight — my eyes search the twinkles Nature’s ballet cast in glass — I lay prostrate on your belly Unbroken fragility wrapped crystal…

A Study in Yellow ~ No. 6: Ben’s Paw Prints

December 25, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Dog Paw Prints

“A Study in Yellow #6: Ben’s Paw Prints” Paw prints   into my heart Dancing in the fresh snow Muddied upon upon the floor   following you everywhere A mark against a window Swatted on my face   your pads pulse with life Grasping tight a toy Digging into my denim jeans   holding on…
