Week 3 Glimmering Reflection

I was eating ice cream at the Spectrum on Saturday evening when I unexpectedly noticed the sunlight glimmering off the pavement. I smiled abruptly and chuckled a bit as I pulled my phone out to snap a photo. After explaining to my boyfriend why I was taking a photo, I realized that noticing light in our everyday surroundings is not a common past time. I laughed because I knew that without taking this class, I would not have thought twice about this panel of light that people walked through without hesitation. The sunlight was reflected onto the pavement, which in turn reflected off the tiny fragments of the walkway and projected a shimmering, sparkling glow. This glow brought a feeling of realization. With the evening breeze setting in after a day of sunshine, this glimmer of light captured the current shift of seasons. It made me feel hopeful and excited for fall to fully set in.
