After few very rainy days, the lovely Mist finally visited Roots of Spells, bringing with her calmness of mind and childish joy in heart. Together with Wierzba we ran, jumped and fell over, while bathing in the pure dew of the morning. Even Mr. Sol came through tall, wet grass with his... happy face. ;)
Wish you all wonderful summer days!

I had a pleasure to make a short but quite fruitful walk through a Forest unknown to me so far. On the hills my feet felt for the first time. With greeting the Sunrise filled with scent of wild summer flowers and dry grass.

From that time forth he believed that the wise man is one who never sets himself apart from other living things, whether they have speech or not, and in later years he strove long to learn what can be learned, in silence, from the eyes of animals, the flight of birds, the great slow gestures of trees.

Finally, after over a year I gave the film to develop. As I mentioned, I love discovering what memories are hidden in these little treasures. Thoughts I almost forgot, feelings that warm my heart.
You can find two photos with my soulmate, as well as, two photos taken by my assistant who helped me and pressed the button.

Recently I had great pleasure to visit amazing place in Poland - the Warren Rocks. I was wandering there and felt like I was in realms of Lord of the Rings. Gigantic rocks dancing with wonderful Ents. They look like they do it for eternity and I can be only small Forest spirit sitting and admiring their majesty magic. I hope next time I'll do better with showing you what I was feeling there! Because I must return there. Maybe during beloved misty Autumn... :)

Catching Sun into frames is something, next to the misty landscapes, which I truly love. Trying to show details of the light's walk, that I admire each day during simple activities. Gentle stroke on the horse hair or on shy wild flowers growing high to the Sun... It always filled me with calmness, joy and strenght. Balance.

Let some of your branches be broken by the Wind.
The new ones will find way to the Sun.
Let some of your roots die.
The rest will find another way even deeper.
Let yourself get lost sometimes.
Open your Soul and find the aroma of life again.
The only costant is change.
There are particular Trees, that tell their stories. Stories in which I find myself and my life path. Stories which I want to catch and show you. This Willow Tree is incredibly...

Forgive however never forget.
Heal your wounds but be proud of the scars.
Get up and grow again.
Strong in gentleness.
The first five images are continuation of series from October, when with one of the dearest Souls to my heart, we met amazing Tree. After harsh and difficult Winter, the Tree fell down but is still alive and is growing. As we should. Even if life gives us obstacles, we should believe in ourselves and keep going.

A lovely horse is always an experience.... It is an emotional experience of the kind that is spoiled by words.

“To love a swamp, however, is to love what is muted and marginal, what exists in the shadows, what shoulders its way out of mud and scurries along the damp edges of what is most commonly praised. And sometimes its invisibility is a blessing. Swamps and bogs are places of transition and wild growth, breeding grounds, experimental labs where organisms and ideas have the luxury of being out of the spotlight, where the imagination can mutate and mate, send tendrils into... 2021-03-31 22:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Language of pure emotions.
Language of deep feelings.
Language of safety and trust.
Language of listening the silence.
With my three wonderful girls who run quiet and simple life of just being happy and calm horses.
There's such time in the year
Time of cleaning up.
To leave old things behind
And give space for the fresh ones.
Time when the last snowflakes dance between dance with green young buds.
The time when the day begins to prevail over the night.
The only constans is the change.
Do I play the piano? Unfortunately no... This old amazing instrument came to me from my friend who was forced to get rid of it. Its wood worn by time, its beauty of the keys tempts me to try... To give a sound...
Maybe one day I'll dare to try?

There comes a moment of the year that I usually slow down a lot with pouring my feelings and emotions into photos. The moment when I grab my old analog camera, with the film inserted... I don't remember when. The camera of which technology doesn't require batteries, and the loud *click* of the shutter button is a beautiful e...

It is somehow amazing that less than two weeks ago, the world around was covered with a 50 cm layer of snow, and the thermometer showed -20 degrees in the mornings, and now everywhere around the water is flowing in a rushing stream to a nearby stream. The frost will probably visit Roots of Spells again, snow probably also, before the full Spring.
But Polish early Spring charms with days when drinking tea outside, in the warmth of the Sun getting stronger and stronger, is wonderful...

I love transition periods. The time of changes. When the surrounding with each foot are in different worlds. When quite often the reality is shrouded in the Mist of mystery and the unknown, unsurpassed. Far beyond the horizon.

When the late afternoon sun knocks on the door, I find it hard to resist it. When the pleasant coolness of the fallen snow is mixed with a gentle stroking of the sun's warmth I just have to let these feelings inside.

Each day is filled with light more and more beautifully. Despite the enormity of snow on the landscape, every morning begins earlier with the joyful chirping of birds who sing louder to the sky. It's wonderful to wake up from the coldness leaving darkness behind. It’s wonderful to feel so deeply living changes. It’s marvelous to feel.
Despite the difficulties and the race against time, I love to create during sunrise, when each second gives a differ...

As the days get longer, the sun peeks into my bedroom more and more, then begins its wild, unbridled dance of light and shadow. As each subsequent photo can be completely different from the previous one.
At first Mr. Cat came to help me during creating, as usual, but this time... he felt asleep very quickly. Moreover, he began to snore loudly..

I really appreciate how my furry Family enjoys being in front of camera. Sol is 1,5 year old maine coon and he often comes to me during creating photos... just because. His trust, open mind and curiosity is able to really "make the photo"! :)

Some of you already know that time I've thought about photos with collars or harnesses for some time. I even had a proposition from one photographer I worked with but... the only person who can tame me and put in such things is... myself. Even only to photos.
I personally have mixed feelings about this styling. Would you like to see more photos in such atmosphere? :)

Close your eyes, imagine small cozy kitchen in old wooden cottage. The whole interior is filled with the aroma of brewed lemon balm and flour, while the low winter light peeks timidly through the east window. Open your eyes and see a spirit of this cottage quietly bustling around... :)

The world around Roots of Spells is still covered with a thick blanket of snow, plunged in a frosty long sleep of winter hybernation. Today's Sun invited me for a short walk. With Wierzba and Sol, we went to listen to the quiet music of a joyful stream, to admire the dance of timid rays on the frozen branches of Trees, to listen jays who sang differently than before. Proably thanks to longer and longer days.
