fire

Capturing fire, for heat, light, or even to contain its fury, has been an ongoing struggle for humankind since we discovered it was even possible.  Used in war, in celebration, to kill and to cleanse, fire is a powerful element.  To capture that magic with a camera is something else entirely; some of us struggle in that endeavor as well. 

All of the images below were taken in my own back yard: an ember that I thought looked heart-shaped; holding my wine glass before the flame; framing the flame with a thin sheet of lacy ice; and the many colors of a hot fire.
