pineapplewelcome, home
This was going to have to be a pretty much indoor day, with the exception of late afternoon, when I had scheduled in a break for some cross-country skiing. But while I was busy writing and editing photos, I happened to notice an exceptionally picturesque scene on one window. The light was just perfect to profile a little crystal pineapple on the windowsill, and the cut glass acted as a prism that broke the incoming rays of the south-moving sun into diamonds, even slightly colored rainbows. The scene was a gift; all I had to do to make use of the present was to reach into my camera bag and capture this venerable sign of hospitality.
