Take a look at this little painted turtle.  I carried him (her?) across a narrow bridge that s/he might see another day in North Carolina.  But look.  The turtle is beautiful.  A work of art.  The colors on the shell suggest dappled light, shadow, sunlight.  The turtle hissed when I picked her up:  "Put me down, damn it."

But how do you do that?  



Here is the source of that dappled light.  Here is the source interpreted by that little turtle into a work of art.
Can you do better?

Be humble.  A brighter day will come.
