a moment of beautiful – slices of orange
the space – a window with curtains
the beautiful – dried slices of orange
~
Yesterday I came into the house just as the sunlight was beaming through the window and experienced a moment so beautiful – a dazzling display of light and shadow.
Last Christmas, I sliced oranges and lemons and dried them as decorations for our tree at work. When Christmas was over, they were too pretty to throw away, so I strung them on raffia and hung them on a wooden coat hanger in the front window.
The sunlight shining through those dried orange slices, in combination with the shadows on the sheer curtains, was magical.

Hi. I have sliced apples and dried them too, then strung them with cinnamon sticks. Jane

Hi Carol. I’m glad you like the photos. The moment was very ‘luminous’… today the same scene looks quite ordinary! Jane
