Friday the 13th

This Friday the 13th is looking like a good one.



Sometimes when seeing beauty, it is in an unassuming place.  This spot of light was sequestered beneath grasses at the refuge, with just the face of the two blades highlighted.  To me, there is a richness, a deepness here beyond the beauty of the grass blades themselves, into the darker surroundings of twigs and leaves and grasses.

I toyed with the name "Grass Light" for this, and immediately two questions popped into my head - 'Can I see by it' and 'Could I read by it'.  Beauty needs not have such functionality, it just is.  Those questions are the human needs.
