You may be interested in reading an interesting article about the origin and meaning of the English phrase "Mind your P's and Q's" which I have paraphrased above. You can find it here:

What you see on the right is a ledge (which is about a 14" depth) in the deep end of the pool. The pool's surface is the same--but the depth of the water changes both the pattern and color.

Craft

The craft of origami, which is simply folded paper, can be quite complicated. I gave the Kusudama flower a try and stopped at 2 examples. I don't know if I have the patience (or desire) to make enough for a whole flower ball, which I think takes 12 (or possibly more) individual flowers. But I do love the two flowers I made--this is the smaller of the two. I used glue, not tape as shown in the instructions on YouTube. I also had to make 6 petals for this smaller flower to get it to fit together (instead of 5 as the video shows).
