Joyce Dickens,...
Under God’s eye all things big and small, light and dark, ....the play of lighting is fantastic in this b…..doesn’t it seem to you that these leaves are more alive than dead? The spirits I see, and there are several, are joyful and extremely peaceful…..almost thankful that you have come across them to pass this image on to us, and share in their harmony and peacefulness. Beautiful work my friend!
butchart replied
yes joyce… i found it odd that in all the leaves on the ground that day.. these were the two that called to me….. when i loaded them on later… i was gobsmacked at all that i saw…........ thank you for your enlightened observations…........ peace and light…......b
Verangel
This is awesome. I has a duality about it. Simplicity intertwined with complexity. Cleverly captured, something that is illusive and intangible, yet described in volumes. Personally when i look at this photograph, i see a physical being with a shadow of the divine. The inseparable… 8)))
butchart replied
wow verangel…. i am honoured by your wonderful comment…. nothing is ever just simple is it? if we take the time to really ‘SEE’ ......... peace and light….........b
