Twisting the Kaleidoscope

Today’s Daily Create asks us to

Imagine you find a kaleidoscope. You put it up to your eye, and point it to the sky. You twist it into the light.

What do you see?

Use either story or poem or words or image or art to bring us into the colorful world of your tumbling tube.

I knew I wanted to use a flower to create an image, so I found this one of an iris I took some years ago

Cropped it to a square and then uploaded it to a Kaleidoscope maker to create this image.

Then I saw Kevin’s create, and nipped over to Lunapic to see what my image would look like as a gif. Here’s two – the first from the kaleidoscope image and the second from the original.
