Yesterday’s shot there was a distinct streak of light running through the puddles of water.
In today’s shot, the light is more dissipated across the uneven surface of the water. And the uneven surface helps to “create” the glittering lights.
I suppose that’s true of life too. The uneven ups and downs that we face in life are the stuff that helps create the glitter.
If it had not been for the downs, the dark moments, it would just be a constant stream of light. No glitter. But because the surface alternates between up and down, you get light and dark, light and dark, light and dark.
In short, you get sparkles. :)
Happy Sunday everyone!

@Rachel: tks for your kind words and for dropping by for a visit! :)
You got it right! Some lives are shaken up by storms, others are dull by absence of wind or movement to let the light glitter. We don't have all in our hands.
