Photo of the Week 2016-08-22

Sometimes it's the everyday sights that catch my eye, sometimes it's simply the light at that moment, often it's the convergence of a number of things at just the right moment.

Early one morning, after spending time on the lakeside deck to finish morning coffee followed by a bit of yoga to stretch out a tight back, I noticed the simple way dappled sunlight streamed through the trees to illuminate an old orange cottage chair.

I decided to apply some creative filter work and create a painterly ethereal feel for the simple scene.

I'm sure the sound of wind and waves accompanied by birdsong and the smell of cedar and spruce mingling with fresh air off the lake together combined to enhance the scene in a quieted mind's eye.

I got away to the cottage for a night to take care of a couple of things I wanted to get done in case the snow arrived early. One of those things was getting the snowblower that I had serviced in Ferndale. I made this trip solo to have room in the vehicle to pick it up on the way.

Tobermory and the cottage is a quiet place once Labour Day weekend is over, even more so after Thanksgiving has come and gone. This trip it was beyond quiet, with Lynn and Murphy at home, it was just me, alone with my thoughts.

On Sunday morning, those thoughts turned to the Photo of the Week and "what was I going to choose this week?" I poured another coffee and went to sit by the window in my favourite chair to give it some thought. After a while my mind wandered off ...

 
... and when it came back, I decided to try and capture what had just happened in an image.
