I’m viewing these photos Sunday evening when it is dark outside.
The photos are radiant — I don’t know if this is the right word but the light is exquisite. You’ve captured the quality of rare (in Coastal Washington/BC) winter sunlight.
Tess wrote about prayer today and when I view your photos, I feel like I am looking at prayers that praise Creation that in turn evoke prayers of gratitude — for Nature, for Artists, for Communities of Friends — in me.
Thank you.

No wonder that you returned from this site so filled with fresh insight–the soul is fed with such rhythms and patterns and the freedom of birds in flight, dipping and diving, and by the expanses of the sea. The sounds that accompanied these scenes can only be imagined. and the slight movement and scent of the air around you as you stood and looked, and photographed and praised. Thanks, Christine for drawing us into the intimacy of those moments of solitude and awe. What a Love Story!
Hugs–to you and one for your camera.
Beheld, Rachelle
