Icy sun

When you get up close,

Humble objects can transform.

Is it a sunflower perhaps with icy petals?

Or a frozen sun

Glowing next to the physical one?

Even when the object is itself —

A screw with ice crystals —

It still retains its humble beauty.

(I’ve still got some crazy deadlines to meet, so will only be posting once this week.)

  4. Once I saw the first picture I felt a thrill … what is this? Scroll down … down … so eager to find out what it is. My heart was happy anxious. Voila! A screw. How magnificent. That’s why I’m such a fan.
