Now that’s its September, Snowbirds (as northerners who winter in the south are known hereabouts) are about to leave their summer homes.

The moment I saw this photo, I knew it would be of value to our blog readers: As you can see, the day was fairly bright — there is light coming through the SHADES, yet you are not able to see through them. This demonstrates that “sense of light” which I often mention to people [...]
