Shadow Shots: Liquid Hope

Two of these, a tall lemonade, and a day of "bed" rest in the hammock is a sure cure for a summertime cold.

I set these Dayquil capsules on the counter while I poured a glass of water and was struck by the pretty way they cast glowing shadows and reflect the windows behind them.

It's funny what you notice when your brain is all gummed up.

Shine On

Flashback to Sunday School: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..."

As it turns out, you wouldn't be able to stop your little light if you wanted to. Scientists in Japan recently used ultra-sensitive cameras to photograph human bodies giving off visible light. Not heat, mind you, but light within the visible spectrum.

We glow. Who knew?

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe a lot of people have picked up on it, if only subliminally. There's glowing good health, the pregnancy glow, radiant happiness and beaming with pride. There's the whole aura thing. And let's not forget the halo, which is especially interesting because the face and head glow the brightest.

Pretty cool, huh.

Deep in the heart of the glowing pod, a shadow grows.

P.S. I don't know what the pod is. It's a weed growing in my lettuce patch. It was too interesting to pull up.

Ruby Tuesday: Tango for Turtles

A pair of pretty painted turtles perch precariously in a pond.
