It still feels very nascent, and I&#8217;m fine with that. There&#8217;s lots of room for me to go where I want. A lot of my focus has been on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.52photosproject.com\/2013\/12\/gallery-36-your-choice-merry-christmas.html\">52 Photos Project<\/a>, which has been really fun &#8211; combining my love of photography with my love of language and words.<\/p>\n<p>Today I just wanted to share this photo I took on Christmas Eve (above). The light felt so thick, as if it had heft, and I had no idea when I pointed my camera in this direction that it would capture that honeyed sky.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the idea here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jillbertini\/11539469685\/\" title=\"sunset and reflection by jillbertini, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3706\/11539469685_e671442539_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" alt=\"sunset and reflection\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jillbertini\/11539506284\/\" title=\"reflecting pool by jillbertini, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7305\/11539506284_e6269f9d08_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" alt=\"reflecting pool\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for coming along with me on this ride.
