You gotta just SNATCH beauty up when you see it.
You never know when something oddly beautiful is going to turn up. You must be ready to grab hold of it when it does, because it may not come 'round again.

A small case: finished some chips 'n salsa, put the little teacup I had the salsa in into the sink, turned on the tap. The water leapt right out of the cup, out the other side. My camera happened to be sitting on the counter, so I snapped a picture:



Neat, huh? It was every bit as neat to watch.

Moments later, before I could even take another photo, the arch collapsed, the cup filled, and it was boring again. I tried several times to repeat the angle at which the water would jump out of the cup without filling it. I couldn't do it a second time.

Moral: grab beauty. Maybe one chance, tops. :)

1. I LOVE it
How lucky your camera was close! That's a really neat shot -- beautiful colors and texture.

Do you mind if i save it on my computer?

:hi:
