Kaleidoscope

Taken through the small hole of my kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscopes have always intrigued me.
Do you love looking through the small hole
and seeing all the beautiful colors?
Recently attending a quilt show
I noticed the kaleidoscopes of quilts.
Looking through the small hole of my camera,
the colors said "notice me"
The patterns, oh so beautiful.
It would be lovely to snuggle under
a kaleidoscope of color.

Beautiful! When I had a retail store, an unfulfilled wish was to advertise merchandise as seen through a kaleidoscope. Possibly it wouldn't have worked. One thing I learned in 37 years of shopkeeping was that one can't be subtle with the public.

Beautiful....tiny, tiny pieces. Oh how patient one must be.

I love playing with the kaleidoscope (when I find the time...), it is as entering a different dimension... a colourful one!

Oh, I love kaleidoscopes! Wrote a feature on them many years ago when a kaleidoscope convention met in my town. Their scopes were amazing, and I've been a fan ever since. (And yes, I love kaleidoscope quilt designs as well!)

For those with the gift of quilting, what a splendid way to discover and create original and unique designs.

I love kalaidoscopes -- especially the ones where you see something real but refracted. These are great photos and the quilt show sounds terrific!

Do you have snow? How's Joey?
