Sometimes the urge to pick up my camera flows simply from feeling thankful for the joy of the moment. Thankfulness, simple as that.
My new beeswax candle arrived on a cold Friday evening. He found the box outside when he got home from work. Winter had intruded into spring yet again, which wasn't the worst thing. We looked forward to a cozy, relaxing weekend indoors. He went upstairs to change while I lit the cotton wick and watched the soft wax begin to melt and pool around the bright, clear flame, at once releasing its pleasing, sweet honey scent. He came down for dinner and found me immersed. And thankful.
What a great still-life! It’s shots like this that photographers shoot which astound non shooters. They don’t understand why we “see” or care to record such images, but when they see them, they are often impressed.
