Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “contrast.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

Do you remember when we had the light/dark button and the contrast control button on our boxy TVs? I liked playing with them making everyday objects or people look freaky. Dad hated that.

That makes me think of D’Maggio carrots on Sheriff John. TV was black and white, but I could swear I saw the brilliant orange vegetable with leafy green tops, I could almost smell the earthy garden they came from.

Still, I hate black and white movies or TV. From the moment of landing in Oz I loved color. I love the variety and contrasting colors presented. We need that .

White snow hitting the windshield during the day looks black. The same snow at night makes you feel like you are traveling in space.

Great contrasting conditions. But shadows and highlights help supply our shapes and depth.

I’m so grateful that I can immerse myself in all the layers from contrast to shades of grey.

It’s like music for the eyes. Without the rest of quiet the rhythms and melody becomes muted, boring.
