our kitchen window faces north so for most of the year we don't get any direct sunlight through it. but as we approach the summer solstice the sun is far enough north that we get a couple of hours early morning after sunrise and late evening before sunset. we have many poppies in our garden and save the seeds for cooking. the seed pods and stem are quite decorative so we have a bunch in a glass vase with a wire holder mounted on the side of the window trim. when the rays of light hit the vase it casts a delightful shadow with plays of light through the glass vase
