Abstract – Untitled #9

I’m sitting at my workstation, at home, on August 25, 2022. It was immediately following a summer rain, that had completely dampened the deck outside the sliding glass door in front of me. In the midst of my work at the computer, I looked up and saw this reflection. Since my camera is never far away, I took this picture.

The reflection of the silhouettes of the leaves is clearly visible. The sun, while out of focus, is the source behind the leaves. The very thin, perhaps three-eighths of an inch wide, metal railing supports appear quite exaggerated as thick, brownish frames in the picture. And, the various reflected and refracted drops of rain dropping from the tree appear as the bright orbs, in random array throughout the picture. A dreamy in-focus, out-of-focus composite.
