Explorations in Light (Radiance in the Everyday)

radiance ˈreɪdɪəns/

n.1. light or great joy or love as emitted or reflected by something or someone (apparent in expression or presence).  "the radiance within always shines + never dies" 2. a glowing quality. synonyms: light, shining, brightness, brilliance, luminosity, glow, sparkle, splendid, magnificence, brillance

Being a witness to RADIANCE in the everyday reminds me to live life fully! Below is an excercise in documenting the finds through the camera lens + working with one of my favourite muses - the flower, Bougainvillea glabra or Paper Fower.

this morning light is always a blessing to witness + as it flows through its subject, the flower in this case, we are able to witness more of the facets + qualities of both. 

The B. glabra is an evergreen that enjoys full sunlight, is drought + heat tolerant. The flowers are actually small + white, the colour comes from the bracts (modified leaves). These flowering vines represent PROTECTION + the flower essence provides an infusion on JOY + HOPE (both energies which help protect the mind, body + soul in a variety of ways).

Creative Prompt: how can you capture radiance in tour home or in a visual or written creation?

Be Wonderful
