Vaginal secretions as seen under a microscope

This is called ferning. It happens before ovulation due to a high amount of estrogen in the body at that phase. The estrogen causes a higher concentration of salt to be present in the secretions and when the water dries out, these beautiful patterns are left behind. It shows up in saliva during fertile times of the month as well.

I believe in a God who understands why people jump from bridges. I know that kind of sadness. That motion, terrifying stillness. God knows it too, has to know it too.

Moonbows

A moonbow, also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow, is a rainbow created by moonlight rather than sunlight. It's formed when light from the moon refracts and reflects off water droplets, like those in rain or mist, creating a visible arc of light in the sky. Moonbows are generally fainter and less colorful than regular rainbows, and they are much rarer due to the need for specific conditions like a full or near-full moon, clear skies, and dark skies.
