the gift of an aurora

I do not know if I will ever see an actual aurora in the sky. But as I downloaded these images from my camera, that is what I thought of.
The strands of light were produced by a little USB plasma ball. An office gift, Steve plugged it in one night to delight a young child, but turns out I was the one delighted by the light display.
I’m sure there are much clearer pictures I can take over time but I kind of like these dreamy shots. They stir my imagination. And they remind me of the words of Joan Feynman, thanking her brother for giving her the aurora. Hear her for yourself via this short Youtube video.

I call this image “the vellum couple.” I see a man and woman in deep conversation. You know THAT conversation at the end of the movie when the couple has come to a fork in the road. Despite the title of this post, I think the couple is more likely Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne than Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Let’s just say I grew up watching a lot of black and white movies with sweeping music. In fact, the image is of two flowers as photographed through a sheet of vellum. If you’d like to see additional images, please visit this temporary gallery. Most of the images are of plants — ranunculus, nasturtium, poinsettia, and others — as viewed through the vellum. There are a few images like the one below with vellum as background.

soft pink

I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.
