Hello flickr friends from Kali Sue. She says it's been awhile.

There is a moment in every dawn when light floats, there is the possibility of magic. Creation holds its breath.

It's been over 2 years since I last blew up a light bulb!

 

Incandescent lightbulb cracked open to release the argon gas inside. As the filament burns, tungsten particles separate from the filament, eventually causing the filament to weaken and break. The presence of gas inside the light bulb helps extend the lifespan of the light bulb by slowing the evaporation process of the tungsten. By releasing the gas the filament burns instantly when the power is switched on! So much fun!

 

I now need to source some old skool lightbulbs as my stock has literally been depleted!

View On Black

I was walking along a path when I looked up and saw this tree. I smiled. I had photographed it two years ago. It caught my eye then as it catches it now. It has an unforgettable presence.

May 19, 2011.

That's one of my friends.

 

I am seventeen, today.

I don't feel much of a difference, except that I know I'm seventeen.

Again, being defined by a solitary word, that is nine letters long, and yet holds intimidating levels of expectations.

It surprised me a lot by how many people actually remembered - including people who I haven't talked to in extremely long; it flooded back countless nostalgic memories of times I quietly forgot when I entered an entirely different world. Slow recollections of people who meant, and still mean, or used to mean, a lot to me, but who faded away as both of us chased our own skies.

Am I wiser, yet? Or am I more mature? I can't exactly tell. Maybe there's no difference, not yet.

A birthday is supposed to be a happy thing, but have you thought of what exactly you're wishing for when you blow out your birthday candles? That is, if you even believe that those candles work anymore.

When the flames extinguish, that's it - you have acknowledged the passing of another year, the state of adding one to your age. There's no taking that acknowledgement back.

 

Thank you so much to those of you who wished me :)
