Unfortunately I couldn't try Dragon's Egg today due to a long family dinner which meant as soon as I got home any natural light had faded - and I definitely want to review it, so that includes taking pictures.
However, just before the dinner started, I managed to squeeze in a very quick photography session while the morning was still here. An hour or so before that, I had my usual cup of tea, before heading out to the dinner and enjoying a cold but scenic walk.
Some words...
lose yourself
to the morning light.
foggy heads
blurred by sleep,
pink lips, dry and bare,
milky skin
and honeyed hair.
thoughts numbed, rushing
still,
like water in a stream.
the cloud of obliviousness,
gently fades away,
as fast approaching
comes the busy day.
we pause for a moment,
and dwell on how the
cold air touches the skin,
and rises the hairs
on our cheeks, nose and chin.
the morning hours,
pass fast,
however much we want them to last.
There's something about skin or closeup pictures that is quite pure and simple, but beautiful in its own way. I don't get the opportunity to take pictures like these in such lighting all that often, especially around this time of the year as it's so dark the majority of the time.
I think another great aspect of these types of photos is the colours, and again the word "pure" comes to mind; these are entirely un-edited, but they still provide some sort of captivation.
The other day I purchased some goodies as a treat for myself, including Dragon's Egg from Lush, another notebook to write in, some stationery and chocolates. I was tempted to also buy Golden Wonder, but I decided against it as many relatives are looking for what to get me for Christmas and this could be one pending on my list!
