The longest day of the year is, not surprisingly, National Daylight Appreciation Day. You could take the easy way out and simply turn your face toward the sun (after coating it in sunscreen, of course). Or you could challenge the sun to a game of hide-and-seek, with glorious potential rewards. Here are 10 sometimes-underappreciated ways to see the light:
  1. Position petals to act like a kaleidoscope 
  2. Use the sun's rays as X-rays to peek underwater 
  3. Illuminate the intricate details on a butterfly's wing 
  4. Spot an upside-down sunbeam that spotlights the heavens
  5. Catch the light sneaking through a bamboo forest 
  6. Boost the golden intensity of a field of sunflowers 
  7. Reveal the secrets of a hardworking mother wren 
  8. Transform sand dunes into abstract art 
  9. Filter the afternoon rays through your water bottle  
  10. Romanticize the domestic in your home
