i must confess …

January 29, 2013 by Cynthia

… it was an impulse buy. I had traveled to my local grocery store with a specific list of items to purchase. Prickly pears were not on that list. And yet as I passed by that basket of fruit …

… I guess the overhead lights struck the skin in such a way that I was reminded of iridescent glass. How could I resist such a display?

And yes, if I look close enough, I still see stars in a night sky. Perhaps an aurora. 😉

It is amazing how you see something so special in something as banal as fruit and you describe it even more beautifully so we can see it too 🙂
