#ArtAdventCalendar Day 22 /23 #LeafMother has been working on the wreaths! I hope anyone who celebrates in any way is having a beautiful season! For me the meaningful date is the Solstice - #Christmas is a cultural time- treats available, probable day off work, fun old music and imagery etc. For those who find this a difficult time of year, may you find #SolaceInNature and #friends online or in the flesh! #WinterSolstice #nature #winter #Baltic #pagan #Latvian
A natural tangle of branches and twigs forms a shape almost like the top of a wreath with afternoon sun variably shining on and through the leaves and stems. Woody twigs and vines of Snowberry and Honeysuckle, along with an herbaceous native wild pea vine (Lathyrus ochroleucus) show a variety of stem sizes and colours, along with scattered dry leaves of reddy brown and goldy green. The background is blue shadowed snow with more foliage and twigs, blurred. The edges of the image are further blurred, with a white vignette effect applied. A muted gold taken from some of the dry leaves has been used for a thin border around the image, and a slightly lighter shade for lettering that says Happy Holidays in a casual script font in upper left.
The gold tip of a stem of Wild (Prickly) Rose Rosa acicularis enters view from lower left with just a few prickles visible ending in a reddish leaf bud and a single rose hip on a relatively long stem that arcs out past the centre of the photo. The hip is a narrow elongated oval, somewhat wrinkled, orangey red enhanced by the afternoon sun. The hip still holds the dried remnants of sepals and stamens at its end. Rich browny gold and pointy, it looks a bit as if some tiny stiff squid has attached to the tip of the fruit. The background is a blur of darkish blue shadowed snow with a few spots of red (other hips) and brown (stems/leaves).Edges/corners have been further blurred with a black vignette effect applied to emphasise the shadows. A medium gold colour taken from the dried floral bits has been used for narrow border around the image and simple lettering in lower left that reads Happy Holidays.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 03 (I have 04 pics edited, but will I have the oomph to write alt for those tonight?..lol)
We've had several moderate snowfalls recently, with some warmth as well, making things a little messy at times (there are advantages to lower temperatures)- but also some nice #HolidayDecorations #ChristmasLights #TimeOfIce #Latvian #pagan #Alberta #photography
From a little distance, looking through a zoom lens (also cropped) at the centre part of a little thicket of leafless poplar saplings or suckers, with thin trunks and many branches and twigs going every direction. Some snow with a little rain and subsequent warmth has left the branches decorated with a host of bits and blobs of half/melted snow and ice. The sun is lighting this shiny ice from behind, and the camera lens has turned these half focussed light spots into circles and ovals of light. These lights vary from translucent bright rimmed to white, all set against dark branches and shadowed background. A white and blurred vignette has been applied to top and bottom edges, and a hint of violet tint across the middle.

Snow Mother hasn't been around that much this year, but she's starting to catch up this week. #winter #pagan #Latvian #animist #snow #garden
A close view of a couple of remaining apple-crabs on a snowy tree. The apples have frozen and thawed repeatedly for a couple of months so though maybe partly/frozen at the moment they look soft, melted. A criss-cross of snow dusted branches is behind the fruit, and circles of light come through the blurred/shadowed trees behind. I've slightly tinted these violet, pinkish, orange. The edges/corners have a white vignette effect applied.

1-A series of 4 short videos for the #CrossQuarterDay between Autumn Equinox + Winter Solstice. The date is +/- November 7, observances from 10/ 31 to 11/ 10: #Halloween #DayOfTheDead #Samhain, #MartinsDay etc. In #Latvian tradition it's #Mārtiņi or Mārtiņdiena- which shares a name- and modern date, Nov 10- with the Christian saint, but celebrates a much older #pagan god.

The edges of the image are darkened and blurred, including my side, away from the tree. The following words appear on the image: Ragana: (in script) Goddess for Dark Days, Witches- and Rebirth! ( in simple semi-bold font) in white letters with soft grey background, matching the blurred edges of the image.

Snow was right on time for the #CrossQuarterDay between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice- marking the #TimeOfIce -beginning of the #winter season in the traditional #Latvian calendar. The days since have been mild, but shadows long, shade and breezes chilly, temperature dropping rapidly as soon as the sun is below the trees or behind clouds so the winter season is definitely at hand, even if it is yet to get deeply cold (we've had nights probably had -10/-12C 14-10F)

Photos from last Sunday when we had our first #snow of the season. A fairly mild to warm week and most of it is gone, with little bits in some shady spots. Today cloudy with chance of rain/thunderstorms (I'm doubtful) but another week forecast to be mostly above average.

1-Views from the moving car on a wet and snowy morning. The snow is coming down fairly heavily at times, and the effect is increased by the fact that most of the shots have some amount of zoom (i.e.- as you look farther through the snow, it gets snowier!). The sky is evenly grey, visibility often reduced by the falling snow, at times appearing misty or falling in large clumpy flakes. Looking up a wet gravel road, with snow covered grassy verges. On each side are low willows in muted autumn gold. On the left there is also a line of dark power poles, and farther on some golden poplars above the willows. On the right farther back is a stand of mixed woods with dark spruce.

The sky is evenly grey, visibility often reduced by the falling snow, at times appearing misty or falling in large clumpy flakes. Looking across a clumpy looking field with light snow cover. Hard to see but probably this was something like a mix of grass and alfalfa or something, thick vegetation but uneven in height/density. Now, with snow weighing it down, it appears lumpy with dark bits showing through the snow. Across the field a wire and post fence angles away to the left, blurring more with distance through the snow, and behind a barely visible stand of mixed woods, with slightly rounded edges and disappearing ghostly into the snow.

A single thin dark twig or sapling tip of balsam poplar arcs upward from lower right to upper left of centre. The stem is decorated with clusters of frost flakes in delicate elaborate white to translucent pyramidal/tree-like constructions pointing various directions, and clustered more thickly around the tip. The background is a blurred abstract arrangement of light (snow/frost) and dark (tree trunks). A filter gives a hint of violet and a white vignette has been applied to the edges.

We #knitters can sometimes get a bit snobby regarding materials, for example by insisting that the only viable option is (superwash) wool. Today, I'm wearing my #Latvian infinity scarf featuring a symbol called Aka or Ozoliņš (the Well, or the Little Oak depending on the region), knitted in 100% acrylic. I made it when I was a poor student and there was no way for me to afford almost 400g of pure wool. In this, the tradition meets the modernity.
