light observations

i'm copying melody fayth hopefully this is right

1. my boyfriend's room is very dark all the time. his walls and sheets are both a dark blue, and his room faces the house's shady backyard. little beams of white light poke through the blinds in the afternoon, landing on dakota's blanket as little blue rectangles. dakota has a green bulb in his floor lamp, and it casts a dim green glow around the room, tinting everything slightly. still, every color in the room is muted from the general lack of a bright light source, and it's so cozy i want to curl up and go to sleep forever.

2. north 5th avenue is banked on both sides by large trees that canopy the street. the afternoon sunlight scatters through the thick leaves and onto the newly paved road, creating beautiful star shaped patterns. it reflects off the windshields and shiny hoods of the cars parallel parked on either side of the street. dakota and i walk across the bridge that leads to 5th and red cross and look at the landscape below. a grassy valley devoid of trees, the bright sunlight hits it directly, showcasing the dramatic green color of the field (it will begin to turn yellow soon). dakota's brown hair is shiny in the direct sunlight - it's several shades lighter out here, almost a honey blonde. the blue in my hair is much more obvious under the natural light. we cross the bridge and continue to walk under the shade of the ancient downtown trees once more.
