She Blinded Me with Her Rays...

...when I opened up the shades.
She hit me with her energy
and I wasn't even a bit afraid.
She's poetry in motion.

She 'blind'ed me with science.

A different take on the morning sunrise. This was the gorgeousness that met me when I opened Clara's bedroom blinds. Had to take a photo. I kinda loved the lines of the blinds and the light on them. I'm not getting out much in the extreme weather, but realizing how blessed I am to have such lovely photo ops at home.

Hope you get blinded by science today, too!

Oh and thanks so much for the sweet comments on Clara's little cute lego photography creations. Such my kid:)!!

You've got me singing it in my head now! I really like how the blinds have made subtle stripes across the window. Love the bold colours xx

@psychographer I have been singing all day. Fun song. Thanks, Lisa!

The reflections on the blinds add interest and a reason for them being there. Great color.

[Katie]

Awesome sunrise, and I love the glints on the blinds!

Our science dept did karaoke to that song a few years ago ... too funny.

[Simply Amanda]

@archaeofrog Such a fun song. I could so see doing that in a school. I'd love to have been a part of it:). thanks, K!!

[Katie]

@amandal They all brought props too. It was something to see, for sure!

[Simply Amanda]

@archaeofrog But then I try to set science teachers on fire or get threatened by them with rusty scalpels, so maybe I shouldn't. I can see them dancing around holding beakers of bubbling green liquid and smoke.

[Kathryn 🐎]
