Numen ...

"The spirit of divine power presiding 
over a thing or place."

Fellow blogger, Tammie Lee is participating in and extended the challenge to others to post and share something in the spirit of the word 'numen.'  The challenge is throughout this weekend.  So, in the spirit of the word numen ...



This little Downy Woodpecker sends the spirit of 'numen' echoing throughout our yard with each lil' knock!

    1. I, for the life of me could not figure out what I did to the first image to have it pixilate so bad when I uploaded it so thank you for the kind words Pam! I greatly appreciate them! I was so pleased that my 4-legged sidekick remained still for such a long exposure!

  2. These photographs jump off of the page into the reality realm of things perceived (to me.) Completely stunning are these. I actually feel cold looking at them. What art is here and what talent. The idea that numen can be delivered in the 'sound' sense is a wonderful idea. Bird song. And bird tapping. Love this. Norma, xo

    1. I'm so glad you stopped by Norma! Thank you so much for the very kind words! I am still learning the 'craft of photography' but I love the ongoing challenge it offers and with a young, busy farm family, it's my creative 'fix and outlet!' I love the Canadian Prairies and do try to showcase the 'numen' of the landscape. Some days are certainly more challenging than others but I think those days in particular can be hefty motivators!

    1. So nice to meet you as well Susan! Thank you so much for stopping by! We were so spoiled with such a warm, calm full moon night ... in JANUARY! I love night photography but our winter has been so cold, this was the first time in a few months that I dragged myself away from the warm and cozy comforts of home!

    1. Glad you like it Tammie! My sidekick is one of our new rescue hounds that came to our home before Christmas! She is an absolute sweetheart and I couldn't believe she sat still for a long exposure! Now if only I could figure out why the image pixilated so badly after I uploaded it. It's the same dimensions I use on all of my images. Tech savvy I am not! LOL!
