Joe Nudell shines a light on his shoes to show how objects fluoresce under UV light for those attending a Black Light Trail Walk Saturday on the Hardwick Trails. The glowing eyes of a frog, pollen grains, millipedes siders, mosses, lichens and mushrooms stood out, along with the red glow of leaves due to chlorophyll, during the walk.
