Thanks for the repost @alisontaylorbc.bsky.social. I think a glowing Moravian star would look great on your Christmas tree!

I have stupid desire to make a string of lights - each bulb covered with a tiny one of these - though I think I’d have to use tweezers for the tiny folds. :D

Thank you for sharing this fable. I’d never heard it before, and now I’ll never look at robins (my favorite) the same way. 🔥

I’ll admit that they do have some great sunsets there -and I’ve seen you do them justice.👍

I love the texture contrasts!

Very evocative of the quiet winter night streets in SE Minneapolis I’ve frequented. Thanks for the memories.

Yes. I was just talking with my daughter about it, and she always thinks of it as sweet Turkish Delight with powdered sugar when she sees it.
