corner view ≈ home

'home is where i wanna be, pick me up and turn me round.... i guess i must be having fun.' - words & music by talking heads. to me, home is a concept, a feeling, one i've been longing for since before i was born. best photos have been made from home (me seriously biased), but there's something about home, the bliss, the velveteen. can't ever wait to get home, throw on some slippers, dive into a soft sweater, and drift off. home, after all, is day dreaming with eyes closed.
home for jane's corner view, don's heavenly pick of the week, hosted by francesca.

    i really am whispering, this early morning (1:00 AM here ) so as not to wake sleeping inhabitants of my home : )

    i love your view of home:

    "but there's something about home, the bliss, the velveteen"

    light streaming here, too.

    I really like that first photo. Quiet and dramatic at the same time. Dreamy, yes.

    I notice doors for some reason. The door shown has wonderful character--love the doornob and the key.
    The light looks like a huge star beckoning us into your '"bliss, the velveteen"--wonderful.

    light and nostalgia,

    there's something magical when light streams in our homes this way. i'm missing my home for all of your same reasons.
    but as our earth is rounding the sun, here in the new orleans house we suddenly have this amazing afternoon light that shines through old wavy windows, producing watery shadows on the wall and beams of light that the kids run through.

    Yes, there's something about home. The smell, the coffee, the sounds, the peace. The light against the dark in your photos exquisite.

    I adore that key, and the door, and the flash of light just behind it - the photo looks magical, as if something wonderful is waiting behind that door. And I just love your description of home as a "feeling".

    P.S. Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog! As always, you just make my day! :) I don't know if those movies will be releasing over there, but I hope so...I think you'd really like them. Are you enjoying Lost, by the way? And I wish I could say that I took that photo, but it's actually a writing prompt from Magpie Tales. (Have you ever participated in Magpie Tales? You'd be really good at it... every Monday, they post a photo, and people can write a short vignette or poem based on it.)
