A Slinky is a toy pre-compressed helical spring invented by Richard James.
It can perform a number of tricks, including travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum,
In 1943, Richard James, a naval mechanical engineer stationed at the William Cramp and Sons shipyards in Philadelphia, was developing springs that could support and stabilise sensitive instruments aboard ships in rough seas.
James accidentally knocked one of the springs from a shelf, and watched as the spring "stepped" in a series of arcs to a stack of books, to a tabletop, and to the floor, where it re-coiled itself and stood upright.
James's wife Betty later recalled, "He came home and said, 'I think if I got the right property of steel and the right tension; I could make it walk.'"
James experimented with different types of steel wire over the next year, and finally found a spring that would ‘walk’.
Betty was dubious at first, but changed her mind after the toy was fine-tuned and neighbourhood children expressed an excited interest in it.
She dubbed the toy Slinky; meaning "sleek and graceful”.
On COLOURS...
Light and colour can influence how people perceive the area around them. Different light sources affect how the colours of walls and other objects are seen. Specific hues of colours seen under natural sunlight may vary when seen under the light from an incandescent (tungsten) light-bulb: lighter colours may appear to be more orange or "brownish" and darker colours may appear even darker.
Light and the colour of an object can affect how one perceives its positioning. If light or shadow, or the colour of the object, masks an object's true contour (outline of a figure) it can appear to be shaped differently than it really is.
Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of three-dimensional shape.
The colour of an object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion. In particular, the trajectories of objects under a light source whose intensity varies with space are more difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source.
Carl Jung is most prominently associated with the pioneering stages of colour psychology. Jung was most interested in colours’ properties and meanings, as well as in Art’s potential as a tool for psychotherapy.
Colour has long been used to create feelings of cosiness or spaciousness. However, how people are affected by different colour-stimuli varies from person to person.
There is evidence that colour preference may depend on ambient temperature. People who are cold prefer warm colours like red and yellow while people who are hot prefer cool colours like blue and green.
A few studies have shown that cultural background has a strong influence on colour preference. These studies have shown that people from the same region regardless of race will have the same colour preferences.
I'm ALWAYS fascinated by COLOUR!
Hope this brings a smile again, have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Lincoln Luminarium organised by LPAC (Lincoln Performing Arts Centre) and located outside the Main Administrivia building of the University of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A luminarium is a massive inflated sculpture people can walk through inside it is a maze of winding paths and soaring domes. Founder, designer and artistic director of Architects of Air, Alan Parkinson, has been designing and making these luminariums for the past 25 years.
Since 1992 more than 3 million visitors in over 40 countries across 5 continents have been welcomed into Architects of Air’s monumental luminaria, immersed in radiant colour that comes simply from daylight shining through the luminarium’s fabric.
The luminarium visiting Lincoln is called Miracoco and is one of seven which tour the world, the others are named Albesila, Katena, Arboria, Pentalum, Mirazozo and Amococo. All luminaria are of a similar large scale (1000m2 /10,000ft2) and are modular to adapt to different sites.
The luminaria have been seen in a great variety of contexts: at festivals of music, theatre, science & dance, at arts centres & museums, at community, corporate & school events, architecture & design related events, etc. The luminaria is also presented as a stand-alone event e.g. as part of a civic summer programme.

Performed entirely by Hammond's Senior Musical Theatre students, an international award-winning musical based on the movie, Legally Blonde. Elle Woods appears to have it all, but her life is turned upside-down when her boyfriend dumps her so that he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to get into Harvard Law. She tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal to realise her potential and prove herself to the world. This action-packed production explodes on the stage with memorable songs and dynamic dances; equal parts hilarious and heart-warming, it is so much fun it should be illegal!

full frame right to left, however I cropped some excess pavement from the bottom of the frame.
I particularly like the clean background in this photograph.
How it happened. There were 2 roadrunners standing together in the middle of the road. As my car approached, they split up. One ran to one side of the road (the bird above) and the other ran to the opposite side of the road and disappeared into the brush. The bird above stood by the side of the road, and looked across the road towards where his partner had gone. I got out of my car, quickly put my camera onto my tripod, and pointed the lens at the bird with no time to spare as it began to run across the road.
