Silent Sunday: Composed by Light and Wind

This week John Steiner at Lens-Artists invites us to consider using shape, form, texture, and light to compose our images.

As someone who clicks from intuition rather than thought, I discovered that my subconscious frequently considers these elements when taking a photo.

Thank you John for carrying this awareness to my door!

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful new week,

with love from Xenia and Bria xxx

  2. Lovely images, as always, Xenia.

    For the past few months, I wondered why we weren’t seeing Misty. Today I followed the links.

    I am so sorry to read about the sudden loss. She was a beautiful member of your family.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts dear Sue ❤ Misty was a very special member of our family and we are so grateful for the time we had together. She was twelve when she joined us and 13 and a half when she passed away. She inspired us to offer a home to another sweet senior dog and Bria was 10 and a half years young when she joined us ❤ xxx

  6. It is amazing what we do unconsciously, by intuition, and we only realise when stop and try to apply something new to our process. To then realise, oh I have been doing this all along.
    Beautiful photos, as always.

    Wishing you a good week ahead.

  15. It’s always a delight to see Bria running on the shore, and the stones add some really nice texture to the scene. The cobalt blue of the sea in the final photo is fascinating. You have a sublime eye for photography, Xenia! Beautiful all ’round. Enjoy the rest of you week. 😊
