While I was seated in the sitting room this morning, blinded by bright sunshine reflected from Jessie’s present of a solar light creating its own moon and star-scape, I became inspired to wander round the house playing
a little light music.
After lunch I posted https://derrickjknight.com/2021/11/21/a-knights-tale-68-the-mans-fingers-still-clutched-the-ball/
Otherwise much of the day was spent clearing my desk and other areas of our entrance hall, in readiness for the start on the floor tomorrow.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s Special Foo Yung; Angela’s flavoursome spring rolls; and Co-op pork spare ribs, followed by mince pies and ice cream; with which Jackie drank more of the non-alcoholic sparkling rosé while I drank Pierre Jaurant Special Edition Merlot 2020.
How wonderful! Eine kleine lichtmusik!
Glad you got it, Linda – as of course you would, Thank you very much
I like your studies in light/shadow/reflection, with the sunlight on carpet being my favorite.
Thank you very much, Liz. A good choice.
You’re welcome, Derrick.
What a fun game, and a beautifully harmonious tune!
Your house refurbishment seems to be progressing apace… I guess work indoors has to keep up with your usual success and productivity in the garden!
Lovely to hear that Mince Pies are now on the desert menu – we must be entering the festive season 🙂
Thank you so much, Emma
The only thing missing was a cat to chase the light as it moved. Lovely picures.
Thank you very much, Pat
I love the solar light. Wishing you and Jackie a beautiful, peaceful week ahead. Life is good!
Thank you so much. The same yo you and Rick, Lavinia
Interesting photos! I love the contrast of light and shadow. Your house is as charming as your garden. I particularly like the little staircase with the window counter at the bottom.
Thank you very much, AnneMarie. The house was obviously once a small cottege
What a delightful thing to do – you have come up with some beautiful images.
Thank you very much, Anne
Now the floors, you’re doing a big makeover!
Long overdue, John. Thanks very much
Enjoy the finished product!
Mince pies? Getting in the festive mood.
Brought yesterday by Angela. Thanks a lot, Sheree
I enjoyed your photographs today, Derrick. Your house is so warm and welcoming.
Thank you so much, Jill
These are fabulous photos, Derrick! The sun playing hide and seek with the shadows creating artistic masterpieces!
Beautiful music…Mr. Mozart playing in my head. 🙂
Hey! You even captured your shadow! 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thanks a lot, Carolyn. I usually try to keep my shadow out of pictures, but here I made an exception. X
I think it’s a great photo! And reminds me of a fave poem of mine: My Shadow By Robert Louis Stevenson. 🙂
What a fun thing to do and better than being dazzled by the reflected light and the low winter sun. Is your shoulder any better today?
The shoulder is a little better each day, Clare. Thank you very much
Gosh… more renovations, good for you.
Thanks very much, Sue
Excellent, I love these – very imaginative.
Thanks very much, Andrew
Very nice and cozy ambiance, but where is the ‘light music’?
Thank you very much, Dolly. Here you are: https://youtu.be/FVTXlRxVdEY
Yet another instance of great minds… etc. When I feel like light music, I play Mozart. I tend to play sonatas, though; I suppose they remind me of my teenage years.
What fun and interesting photos. Did you play Mozart while you wandered? Or Sondheim? 😀
Thanks very much Merril. https://youtu.be/7Yu3SUlEhWA
🤣 🤣
Enchanting light music!
Thank you very much, Laurie
Very beautiful !!
Thanks very much, Mrs N
I see the light singing through the windows. I love how it dances along the carpet and with the red edges of the flower shaped bowl.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Really enjoyed these!
Thank you very much, Laura
Stunning photography Derrick
Thanks very much, Gary
This is a fascinating series of photos. The interplay of light and shadow is the essence of photography, its variations creating effects that have meanings and appeals of their own.
Thank you very much, Uma. Some years ago I attended a weekend photography course run by Chris Weston, who spoke of photography as painting with light. I was, incidentally, the only member of the group using a film camera.
That’s interesting, Derrick.
These are fabulous pictures, Derrick. Happy Monday.
Thanks very much, Robbie
love the festive images!
Thank you very much, Lola
Interesting pictures and a wonderful approach to point out the overlooked. My favorite picture is the photograph of the linens.
Thank you very much, Bridget
That is a very neat solar light! Some days are better when we take time to chill…listen to music… and enjoy good food!
Good catch.
Thanks very much, Sherry
I believe you have a lot of magic in your home. The chair in the sunlight is most welcoming.
Thank you so much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick!
Fantastic photos and the beautiful music. Lovely, lovely.
Thank you so much, Byung
The light music was better than that that I often hear on Radio 2.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal
Wonderful post, filled with imagination, light and music. Bravo!
Thank you very much, Maj
Such a fun post!
Thanks very much, Jodie
