As I sat contemplating on the en suite loo this morning I noticed that the sunlight on the room curtain cast a reflection on the shower door.
The closed door from the bedroom gave an alternative view.
This set me in search of similar plays of light, such as
its games with the window sill and door to our first floor sitting room;
shadows and reflections of the kitchen captain’s chair;
reflections of the Christmas tree, the curtain, and the patio water fountain seen through the glass behind the decorations;
the tree and its shadows on the carpet and
Jackie’s hanging knitted jacket and the arm of her chair.
Ian returned home after lunch and the rest of us later dined on roast chicken pieces; pasta vegetable bake; and spicy pizza, with which I drank Medoza Malbec 2020.
Time in contemplation well spent.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal. I’m glad you picked that one up
You obviously had a lovely bright day. Was it warm or cold? Interesting pictorial essay.
Coldish , Pat. Thank you very much.
In the last set of photos, is that a windvane or similar garden ornament that’s casting its shadow into the room? It looks rather like a bagpiper with the ribbons flying from his instrument.
It’s the Christmas tree, Linda. Thank you very much
Thank you for inviting us into your sunlit world! I’ve always considered sunlight and shadow through my windows one of life’s simple pleasures.
I’m so pleased you do, Liz. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Love these. I love how the sun plays with it’s rays.
Thank you very much, Chrissy
Oh, you made me laugh. It sounds like the plumbing is working just fine!
Sunlight, reflections and shadows are such welcome threesome.
Thank you so much, Sue š
A beautiful series of light play photos, Derrick! My best to you and Jackie.

Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
It looks like you found a relaxing way for an artist to enjoy being indoors on a cold day. I enjoyed your discoveries of light and shadow.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Lovely shots of sunlight through the windows and reflecting off Christmas decorations. Wishing you and your family a very Happy 2023.
Thank you very much LL/PS
Gorgeous, creative, artistic photos! Wowza! š
You never know where you will be (sitting š ) when you find inspiration! š
(((HUGS))) š
Thanks very much, Carolyn š X
Some excellent compositions Derrick, well spotted.
Thanks very much, Andrew
Lovely shots of shadow and light. I wonder how it differs in the summer.
That is a good thought, Merril. We wouldn’t have such low sun, so the shadows would be far less. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick. You might get some different shadows, too, from the movement of the sun (well, technically Earth, but. . .)
You are having a great start to the New Year Derrick – new blog and great arty photos!
Your posts are yet to turn up in my reader I’m afraid.

Thought you might like to know that I had no problems receiving notification of a post on your new site. Lovely sunlit pictures. I especially like the one of the door and the red curtains. It’s all in the lighting, isn’t it?
It is, Laurie. That is reassuring information re my site. Thank you very much
There’s nothing like a good sit-and-contemplate. š
Thanks very much, Widders. š
Shadows and silhouettes are always intriguing Derrick …
Haiku: Shadows
Her lone silhouette
Forever etched in the stars
Shadows of my heart
Good one, Ivor. Cheers
Light and shadows, this is my kind of place to hang out
Thank you so much, Rose
every day angles at home – snippets always are intriguing for sure
Thank you very much, Catherine
Beautiful – and contemplative – reflections, Derrick. I’m in catch-up mode again so am extremely late in wishing you and Jackie and all the family a very Happy New Year. Give me a few days and I’ll be up-to-date again š
Thank you so much, Sandra. Your catch-ups are always welcome
