I too love kaleidoscopes and wish that Mr. Spellcheck had caught my mistake on the title as originally posted.
The leaves were blowing off the tress yesterday making me think of being inside a kaleidoscope -- or an autumnal leaf globe, if there were such a thing.
Mother Nature and you are great artists ! I remember how I loved Kaleidoscopes when I was a child. Did you see that I gave you an award, a week ago ?(Post: Prix) You really deserve it ...
Wow! I love that kaleidoscope and the photos, too. I stared at the kaleidoscope too long, though, and now my eyeballs feel like they're twirling, lol. I get mesmerized by those things...
I am always in awe of the e-games one can play with all those tools out there! Kaleidoscopes (I remember a red shiny cardboard tube) are so fascinating, one only needs to be careful to not run into objects while in their thrall. Virtual ones are safer that way! Thanks for letting us watch. :-)
With this widget, Merisi, it's hard to know when to stop! I keep wanting to try one more picture to see what patterns it will produce -- like the green lattice -- not a great pic but a wonderful kaleidoscope pattern,

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Wow! What an explosion of colour. Love the kaleidoscopic transition between photographs.
Gorgeous fall pics! I had a little kaleidoscope when I was a girl. I was nutty about it and would spend hours looking through that thing.
BEAUTIFUL ! :)

Thank you, Maria Cecelia and Mountain woman -- the SLIDE widget does all the work -- you just add in pictures. I find it addictive . . .
Oh, Miss Yves, Thank you! I've been meaning to get back to that post . . .
Fantastic! I love kaleidoscopes! Isn't it nice to try out all the various styles?! Have a great Halloween, but not like the ones in"Old Wounds"!
Reader Wil -- Oh dear me, no! Not like in Old Wounds!

Victoria -- I too am entranced by these things. I know what you mean by spinning eyes.
