Sun and Stars

A delicate branch of coral stretching toward the ocean's surface...

Well, actually, it's just an ordinary, earthbound tree branch. But it looked like an underwater shot for a split second, didn't it? The sky was that blue today.

This tree I came across was bare except for little white fruit or nuts that continue to cling to the branch tips. Looking at these bright specks against the sky, it almost seemed as if the stars had come out in the middle of the afternoon. I tried to capture the strange image, but I'm afraid my cell phone wasn't up to the task and the snowy polka dots are, sadly, invisible.
