This morning, I had just poured the coffee in the cup and was putting the pot back when I caught a glimpse of the sunlight shining through the glass and coffee and on the cup. My eyes widened and my mind shot back to the days of physics class. "Refraction!" I exclaimed. I hastily set the pot down and raced off in search of the camera with a feeling very similar to glee. I spent the next minute trying to take a picture without accidentally spilling coffee on myself. And that's the story of this photo.

By the way, it was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had.
