Dale and K’lee‘s Cosmic Photo Challenge theme for this week is I’ve Got the Monday Blues. Visit both their sites to see the beautiful, cool, and crazy stuff they came up with, and learn how to play along.
I do love sparkly things.
I am such a crow.And light through glass? That’s pretty magical……and mystical.The stuff of dreams.
Having survived valve repair surgery and an experimental cardiac bypass at age 5, three years before it was an accepted medical procedure, Susan grew into the size of her overworked and enlarged heart. Maybe she thought she had enough to give it away -- twice. Both times, she had to retrieve the shattered pieces and puzzle them back together. She thanks her Dad for the only advice of his she ever followed to the letter: "Never get married. Learn to take care of yourself." So of course she is a writer. Susan has co-written a YA SciFi novel, and has three more novels in various stages of evolution. She's had several short stories published in other people's anthologies, some of which were contest-related.
Let her tell you a story...

I had to look that up; I’d only ever heard of Turkish Delight taffy. lol. The photos I found seem to indicate it’s a form of aquamarine — my birthstone!
The glass would be easy to mistake for a crystal — especially when it behaves that way. lol
Very pretty, though when it’s naturally smoothed by the sea like that…ruby is my birthstone but I don’t think I’ve ever seen red sea glass, just blue, green and clear…
There’s red glass, so there must be red sea glass, but I’ve seen it in photos. lol. I’ve found pale green and clear. The blue was a gift from one of my sisters, and she bought it on Ebay!
Space, Time, and Raspberries 
The ocean glass is my favourite!

Thanks, Magarisa! It took a bit of work to get the sun ray just right, but even the glass alone is beautiful.

Oh, if I’m picking one… The trident is my favorite as it reminds me of a comic book character I loved as a kid, Namor of Atlantis.

Thanks, K’lee! To me they’re such happy shades, it’s hard to understand why “feeling blue” should be a downer.

That’s one color connection I can’t fathom either! Blue as a color has never been a downer for me…

Love the Sea Glass. I always like the rough polish of it and what that does to the color of the glass.

Thank you, Samantha. I’m glad you like them. 🙂 Do you mean the one refracting the light? That’s actually a piece of ocean glass. 🙂
