Miracle of Colour!

“Color is one of the most marvelous aspects of our existence… Even if one possesses a basic scientific understanding of the phenomenon of color perception–rooted in the absorption and reflection of impartial light waves as they meet objects and environments in the real world, striking the human retina by chance, subsequently setting off a chain of neural excitation—the experience of color loses none of its visceral nature, its emotional power, its potential for fascination.” ~ SADAO HIBI, The Colors of Japan

I have always been utterly fascinated with colour… in the things I own.. what I wear…in the blooming away of flowers.. sparkling away in the water of a river..enriched in the hues of a rainbow….

I am so intrigued by how small experiences make one’s life more richer, more meaningful.. I love nature, things and people breaking open to their most colourful selves. 😀

The other day, I was making soap bubbles.. and being one of my most favourite activity, I wanted to capture the bubbles as I made them. 🙂 And in this process, I found the most beautiful phenomenon.. it was a bright sunny day.. and the bubbles reflected the most vivid hues before they popped into nothingness.. I was full of wonder, full of awe, and love for the moment I was in…

Sharing my love & joy! 🙂 ❤
