The Pool

Whenever my son and I go to the pool, we always see the reflections of the sun on the water.  It looks like white ripples in the water but it is really light from the sun.

Clouds

Because of the lack of sunlight, you can see in this picture that the clouds are gray.  Normally, the clouds would be light when there is more sun shinning.

Cucubano

When I at my parent’s home, one thing that I enjoyed so much is searching for “cucubanos”.  The cucubano is a tiny beetle native to Puerto Rico.  The backside of this specie lights up.  They also can light from the middle area.  It is fun to play on the patio trying to catch the one that lights the most.  Once again, nature gives us another source of light.  Watch this: https://www.google.com/search?q=cucubano&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Sre3UtaSDYyLkAe9y4GwDA&sqi=2&ved=0CDQQsAQ&biw=1608&bih=797&dpr=0.9#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=FnNC1i0KNppONM%3A%3BJBW3sBKew-BD2M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Flh4.ggpht.com%252F8r10ZT-W9OE7bt29ueHJM8N8we4UY0myuj2CZDfagxhn2q0kO1vPASYCMXmbP6rEQKleUSbo_0sLOr8t9nhR%253Ds1200%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.projectnoah.org%252Fspottings%252F10023895%252Ffullscreen%3B1200%3B1200

La Parguera, Puerto Rico

When I was a kid, my parents took me to a beach called “La Parguera” in Puerto Rico.  It is a bioluminescent bay in which the water glows when the microorganisms in it are agitated.  It is so spectacular how nature works and shows us how to use techniques to light our environment.  I felt like I was in the movie “Avatar”.  Please, enjoy the link: https://www.google.com/search?q=la+parguera&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=xbW3UsPPHciTkQepmYHQBg&sqi=2&ved=0CEYQsAQ&biw=1608&bih=797&dpr=0.9#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=NXw44mUkOMNReM%3A%3BgAQUnxdxI0yhpM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fblogue.voyagesbergeron.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2010%252F09%252F21-sept-2010-e1353000030314.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fblogue.voyagesbergeron.com%252Fblogue%252Fcategory%252Fplongee%252Fpage%252F3%252F%3B800%3B815

The Fire Truck

Whenever I see a fire truck go by with its red flashing lights, it makes me feel worried.  I wonder about if somebody is hurt and if there is anyway I can help.  So I immediately pull over to the side, making sure I’m giving the fire truck enough room to go where it is going.

The Red Light

Seeing a red light when I’m driving makes me angry.  I always wonder why the red light is way longer that the green light.  In Orlando, you are always at a red light for a long time, but when the light turns green, your turn goes by fast.

Skycrapers

Every time that my son and I go to Downtown Orlando, we always see skyscrapers.  If you think about it, the amount of light that it takes to light the whole skyscraper, takes a lot of energy.
