Oh James …I have just read this in its entirety and looked at the photographs …whew! Your gifts resonate with me and others …because I think you work from your deep self … and I thank you for it.
I’m with you on winter, it lasts into April here, and it’s difficult not to internalize the bleakness, which feels like lifelessness. Birds are necessary during these times! Glad the starlings were there as companions along with the doughty ponies.
Thanks Carmine, I think it may be over! We've just had the most beautiful weekend of light. We watched curlews and lapwings, egrets and bitterns. I'm writing about it now and will post this weekend. J
Just lovely, James. I'm also feeling the winter blues, but your essay and austere photos have cheered me up and inspired me. They've reminded me that beauty is out there even on the bleakest of days. Thank you!
I loved this piece, James. And that second photograph where the edge of the pool almost exactly mirrors the edge of the hill is sublime. I think the quiet, apparently unassuming places have so much to show us; I'm with you in loving 'beautiful negative space'.
Thank you for your imagery and honesty.
Thanks for reading, Neinah.

Again, beauty abounds and kindness…
Thanks Win.

Oh yes. Yes to all of this. Thank you.
Thanks!
After my country was brought to its knees by its own leaders yesterday, I needed a reminder that the earth still abides. Thank you.
Thank you Nikki
