For as long as I remember,
I've loved windows and sheers
and how the sunshine illuminates the patterns and creates
folds and curves.
Open windows have a special charm
and they allow the sheers to move in the breeze
and we get a glimpse of greenery outside
transporting us to another outside world
There's a dreamy, romantic feeling to watching these lightweight
transparent curtains move back and forth
I could watch them forever
observing the play of sunlight outside which changes constantly
Who would have thought that open windows
and the breeze blowing curtains could hold such fascination?
The sunlight shines its filtered yellow magic
as if there is a hidden source of light within the trees outside
When the sun lowers in the sky
it leaves behind it a memory of luminous moments
of stillness and peace.
Looking at these window captures
reminds me how
peaceful observation
becomes a joyful meditation.
This is a lovely meditation on movement and light. I like the look of the light filtering through the sheers. I hope you're enjoying fall and some fine weather.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barb. Our weather has suddenly turned colder with a mean wind blowing, but the autumn colours are not happening just yet.
DeleteWhat a simply lovely series.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. I needed to put in something calm and peaceful this week before I organize my train travel shots!
DeleteSuch a lovely, peaceful series of shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fi. There is something so peaceful about open windows and curtains.
DeleteSheer delight! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat would have been an excellent title for this blog entry! I had thought of putting "Sheer beauty", but the word 'sheers' is more from the US. I remember we used to call them net curtains in Britain- though they have evolved from being those grainy nets that used to exist. Now they are soft to the touch and 'floaty'!
DeleteLovely! The light is beautiful as it turns golden. I don't have sheers in my home, I have blinds. Every time I see your pictures of sheers and light I wish I had them. It would be so peaceful to sit and watch the breeze stir the sheers.
ReplyDeleteI've never had blinds inside and in the town you need sheers for privacy. I do have heavy blinds outside though which I roll down at night. There is something special about sheers on windows somehow and I've always loved them!
DeleteI like that. "Peaceful observation becomes a joyful meditation"
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane!

Thank you, Tammie. There is something very feminine about dainty sheers moving in the breeze against an open window.
DeleteI have sheers in my home..in my living area and my bedroom. The ones in the living room are off white color which really makes a lovely gold when the sun comes through them. All these photos capture that light and airy feeling for sure..an floating on the breeze. I can see how watching them would be a meditation!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the way the sheers take on a golden glow when the sun shines through them. It also does this on white sheers like on the top photo. Thank you for coming in to comment and for catching up on my recent blog postings!
DeleteAs I was strolling past your place I noticed your curtains. One of my keenest pleasures in life is a curtain blowing day. I am enjoying yours vicariously.
