Lots of my photos are related to playing with light-I love that blurry effect of light as a camera moves-on purpose or by accident. I love times of day where the light is special-sunrise and sunset. One of the best exhibitions I ever saw at the Tate Modern was this one-amazing and awe inspiring, creating the sun in a building. I had fun blurring these little tealights by moving my camera up and down, side to side and around. In the middle is a little wax coated block person that went quite well with the buildings.
"Moonlight is sculpture." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
"You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in."~Arlo Guthrie
"There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
~Edith Wharton
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."
~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
"The sun is nature's Prozac." ~Astrid Alauda
"Ideas are to literature what light is to painting."-Paul Bourget
"We see light, not dark. But it is in the dark that we feel goblins and ghosts."- Rex Brandt

I like Wharton's quote and all your playing with light. You have an eye for it!
As for colours, yes, love them, too.
Lovely, lovely quotes and I particularly like the last mosaic.
I'll have to try wiggling the camera!! Have a good weekend, love, Anne
Your candlelight photos are lots of fun - I like it when photos come out all blurry and strange. Otherworldly.
(and boo! I wanted to move into that bungalow! Looks like I missed my chance :/ ))
