corner view ≈ sacred spaces

i believe sacred spaces lie within us. suffices to catch the drift.

i shot 131 takes of a leaf, cajoling. it was in fact dangling from a spider's thread. as i left, it was still floating, determinedly, aimlessly. i wish i was that leaf. i wish it was that easy. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, bev's theme.

    en het blad lijkt op de bladeren
    die ik al jaren aan mijn muur heb
    denkend aan australie
    gumtrees....

  4. the leaf didn't make it on its own - it had a spider thread to hold on to.

  6. I did the same thing the other day except the leaves were just falling and I was running trying to catch them- your way is far superior ;)

  9. Funny - I took a series of photos of an autumn leaf suspended on a lone spider web strand just this weekend! Mine is a colored, curled leaf and taken at night so the background is completely black. Coincidence!
