These royal terns are lined up for the sunset - despite the rather ominous conditions! The reflections are more obvious than the shadows, but both are visible when you are looking for them.

So how do you help students see beyond the obvious? What conditions provide a vision for depth? When is it important to dig deeper versus be satisfied with the superficial....or is that important? Working with visuals can be a nice lead into such conversations. Creating one's own photographs can provide an appreciation of the commonalities and the differences...and drinking in the sunset - well, that's pretty universal! ;) 1st Ave N & Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL
