Sometimes, their shinning is so subtle that it is difficult to catch them by a camera. And I am amazed with a wonder of nature because there is none of the same unlike the artificial ones.<br />Thanks a lot for your very interesting blog giving me a good chance to think over it.<br /snowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208959268136388191.post-48210591367639968252012-11-21T07:19:28.102-08:002012-11-21T07:19:28.102-08:00I'm a sucker for glitter and sparkle, although...

Nothing is so moving than the nature’s manifestation. The mystery of nature could never be presented through description or man-made things including arts, though it could only be suggested, and the simpler the suggestion, the greater its effectiveness.
