Shivelight (n.) — an eye-catching and poetic word used to describe the slender, golden ribbons of light that stream through the canopy of leaves - sunlight pierced and filtered by the gentle shifting of leaves. It captures the stillness of a wooded morning, the quiet revelation of illumination dancing between shadows.

Endurance frozen in the ice, 1914-1917. Frank Hurley Platinum print.
The Endurance was an exploration ship that became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica in 1915. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship was squeezed by the ice for ten months before being crushed, but the crew all survived.
Great blue herons sturdy bill is ideal for stabbing prey which the heron will then orient to slide down its throat headfirst, in the case of fish.
