Green Light Macro © 2011 Bo Mackison
From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Photography is art using light as its medium. Without light, there would be no photographs. I was quite awe-struck by the beauty of the light in the many greens – highlighted in the low angled sunlight. So many shades in one green leaf, interspersed lights and shadows.
One should sit quietly and look at a garden. What you see depends on what you bring to it. ~ Sobin Yameda
Composition can be rooted in contrasts: light and dark, bright and shadowy, straight and curved, diagonal and circular, near and far.
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. ~ Rachel Carsen
Focusing on the beauty I find in the gardens has become a life-enhancing gift. How can one’s spirits not soar, one’s mood not lift, surrounded by the many colors, textures, the sensory experiences that make one feel fully alive.

The play of the light is fascinating.
The light, shadows and colour are stunning, Bo. And, as you say, how can one’s spirits not soar, when in the garden? 🙂
