Earlier this week in one of the poetry presentations we got to see a design describing the narrator's love interest who moved shyly in the firelight. I remember we had a conversation on how firelight has so many more colors in it besides orange and by adding cooler colors such as blue and purple, the firelight becomes more believable. After hearing that, I made sure to look more closely when my parents lit the fireplace this weekend. I don't think the video I took of it did it justice, but besides the blues and oranges that I imagine when I think of firelight, I saw a variety of different shades in between those colors when I stared more closely. Inside the fire there were deeper oranges and violets. The red embers each changed colors as they got warmer and cooler. Besides the physical heat that emanates from the fire itself, I felt that the movement and the colors of the flames did more to make me feel awake and alive.

Great exercise for your eyes as an LD. It is a great lesson in why we respond best to a blend of warm and cool light, rather than just warm - our eyes expect it - nice post!!
