Wildflowers in Midmorning Light on Pine Table

Bright midmorning sun falls through sheer curtains, casting soft, shifting shadows across a scrubbed pine kitchen table. A glass jar holds a loose bouquet of wildflowers, their stems standing in clear water. The rough grain of the wood shows signs of frequent use, against the delicate, thin petals of the blooms. Warm interior shadows pool in the corners of the room, deepening the amber tones of the pine. The light highlights the dust motes dancing near the jar's rim and the slight imperfections in the glass. One shadow from the curtain folds falls across the table's edge, marking the time of day.
