I love the fluidity of these liminal spaces between winter and spring. The ice folding back from the shoreline exposing inky cold water, translucence and grit. There is much beauty in the rituals of the seasons.

These photos are just gorgeous!
Thank you! I’m still figuring out how to best use my little waterproof camera but it’s certainly fun to play with (albeit a bit cold on the hands).
: )
And in your seeing of them. Thank you for these.
Thanks very much, Linda. Photographing the ice melt seems to be a spring ritual for me.
There certainly is…and you have a marvelous eye for seeing them. Nicely done, Karen.
Hi Scott, thank you. I do love this time of year for making photographs.
You’re welcome, Karen…it’s a wonderful time….
Wow. Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much, Helen.
Lovely, Karen.
Hi Gro, thank you!
Reblogged this on sydney lancaster: hand & eye and commented:
…it’s the spaces between things that teach us the most …
my thanks to Karen McRae, for continually posting images that inspire and provoke thought.
Sydney, thank you for reblogging this, and for your kind words.
I appreciate it!
all 3 are beautiful! the top image really resonates with me and I adore it!!! very cool Karen! 🙂
Thank you, Deb! What nice feedback.
: )
you’re welcome…. indeed the top one had me a bit green with envy, I REALLY liked it 🙂
So true. There is an awe surrounding transitions. So lovely.
You seem alwaysto capture nature the simplicity of nature quite naturally that most do not. You use your camera as an artist uses her brush, or a poet his muse.

Beautiful. Fluidity seems to be the theme of the day.
Mysterious and beautiful Karen. Very nice.
Very beautiful photos, Karen! I love how the colors are melting from one to other. 🙂
Brilliant! Love to see these in big size hanging in an exhibition, great art!
Greetings, Ron

Gorgeous abstracts. I especially like the first one. Such splendid shifts.
Very nice!
Awesome!
Holy fuck. Your vision.
These are so gorgeous, Karen. They are so easy to spend time in (I’d love to see them blown up really big), and I love the way they mess with scale.
I love how you capture the world 🙂 I try and do this but having to have control even with depth lol I try to focus lol
Absolutely love these, Karen – and esp so the multiple exposure image. Adrian
Amazingly beautiful! Just WOW! Glad I had these to look at today!
Wonderful images Karen!

Painting and drawing with photography – it’s amazing!

Exploring, I came upon these. They want to be large. Very large.
Thank you Michael!
