“When light enters our eyes, striking a cone, it triggers the release of a chemical transmitter, initiating electrical messages conveyed to the brain and eventually the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland – a pea-sized structure at the base of our brain – govern our metabolism, appetite, water regulation, body temperature, sleep, nervous system, and sexual and reproductive functions. What that means is that color isn’t just a visual stimulus. It also creates physiological changes within us. In psychological terms, it delivers an emotional experience.”   — Karen Haller, The Little Book Of Color.

This morning, during the storm, I went inside to take my flower photos using my light stand. I experimented and learned much about color and light—the joy of experimentation.
