Low light from the setting sun cast a shadow of a bottle stopper across the countertop that was both startling and amazing. I would never have imagined such a sight. How did it do that? It looked like neither a bottle stopper nor a shadow at first glance, but rather a figure suspended in space.Continue reading “Rorschach-ed”

Due to Dew?
Droplets of water sparkled like due in the soft morning light. Then it dawned on me that the sprinklers had just finished watering so, the droplets on the flowers were not just due to dew. #dew #due #morning
Twilight’s Last Gleaming
The thin crescent Moon was higher than usual in the sky last night due to the inclination of its orbit. See it once more tonight and also in four weeks when again it will be a thin crescent smiling high in the “twilight’s last gleaming.” #twilight #gleaming #moon

Shellfish on the Shelf
It’s not just another display of shells, rather it’s collection of memories. Conchs and cowries not only remind us of places we have been in the Caribbean and the South Pacific, but more importantly, they cradle precious memories of the people we’ve met. Our thoughts and hearts are with you in your tropical paradise, friends.Continue reading “Shellfish on the Shelf”
Standing In Lime
Little containers of fresh-squeezed lime juice lined up in two rows like tiny soldiers awaiting deployment. They will quarter together in the freezer until called to active duty to be mixed into a Mai Tai. It’s a mission from which they will not return. #limejuice #soldiers #maitai
