Day 67 - and it seemed to me, you lived your life.....

A little bit of the long candle holder I have in the living room. It holds about 10 to 12 candles and looks really great all lit up. As you can see the candles have gotten a little bit of use as they slowly shrink into the bottom of the glass holder. These are just something you can light, sit, and just stare into the flickering flames and contemplate so many things. I remember in our college days, just sitting around with friends, lights off, perhaps a candle lit, some frosty beverages, and some music playing, just talking about whatever came to mind. This was not the times where we were partying it up hard obviously, there were plenty of those too... but that's for another day....

I particularly like the simpleness of the shot, the lighting, and the fact that I didn't need to keep the shutter open long at all to achieve the shot I was looking far. Just a dimly lit room and the camera perhaps a little close to the flame, but all in the name of my pictures...

...like a candle in the wind.....

Day 47 - these boots were made for walkin.....

Ok, I couldn't resist putting this picture in here. I had many other pictures to choose from , but these shoes are just so very cute looking. Obviously you are looking at a pair of Brendon's new shoes, and while he can't walk yet, they do help in keeping his socks on his feet which he so happily kicks off. I picked these ones out because they are some of the colors that I like and thought the baby would look cute in them as well.

I took this closeup shot on top of a glass case coffee table that I made, I think it makes the shoes look as if they are floating off of the page or that this photo was edited in Photoshop or the like, I assure you it wasn't. I arrange them this way and used the light coming in from the sliding glass door to create the shot that I wanted.

...and that's just what they'll do.....
