To January, and the New Year:

"Give, and it will be given to you. 

Good measure,

pressed down, 

shaken together,

 running over, 

will be put into your lap. 

For with the measure you use 

it will be measured back to you.”

{mat. 6:38}

It's January

When In Rome

For our Christmas party at work, we went to a small Italian restaurant in downtown London called Fellini Koolini's. The whole restaurant was decorated with ivy, fruit and wine bottles to make it look more authentic. It was really cute but the lighting was low and the lens I had on my camera wasn't suitable to the light conditions so I didn't take pictures of the inside. However, as part of the theme there was this small clothesline hanging outside over the small ally between Fellini's and another restaurant. Even though it is of underwear the quaintness of it caught my eye and I had to take a picture.

Tis The Season

To those brave few that have continued to follow our blog, who have checked with expectant hearts for about a month and seen no updates, we thank you. We are planning on picking up the blog in the new year. For now we are trudging on to finish the school semester, looking forward to the Holidays, and dreaming of that long beautiful break that will come in a few weeks....

Perhaps there shall be a scattering of photographs posted in December. Follow at your own risk ;)

THanks again!

Half Light and Half Shadow

For one of my projects for school we had to take a picture of "crossing light". This light is a soft light that is usually found in the morning or just before sunset. The point was to see highlights and shadow of the crossing light, and the eye pleasing effect it gives.

"And then the world,
In the quietness of dusk,
Slid off into a silent sea of ebony."

{June Mahlen-Creek}

As The Leaves Fall...

As fall the leaves, so drop the days
In silence from the tree of life;
Born for a little while to blaze
In action in the heat of strife,
And then to shrivel with Time's blast
And fade forever in the past.

In beauty once the leaf was seen;
To all it offered gentle shade;
Men knew the splendor of its green
That cheered them so, would quickly fade:
And quickly, too, must pass away
All that is splendid of to-day.

To try to keep the leaves were vain:
Men understand that they must fall;
Why should they bitterly complain
When sorrows come to one and all?
Why should they mourn the passing day
That must depart along the way?
