Ninth Birthday

Ack, when did it get so late and how did that happen without my noticing? I'm afraid you'll just have to pretend it's an hour ago, so I got a post in on Thursday. ;)

Make a wish and blow out the candles:

On my niece's ninth birthday, I was trying to get a shot of the candles in the dark as she blew them out... and I seem to have caught it at a perfect moment. I know it's grainy, but I'm really fond of it, especially because when you print it out, once you get it in just the right light, you can see the face - the rest of the time it's too dark!

Turn Up The Heat

Busy busy busy! I've been out most of the day at a NaNoWriMo kick-off party, and I spent this morning frantically getting into costume, hence no post. I'll try to get back on track with morning posts tomorrow, but as I need to be on the 7am bus into the city, that might not happen.

Lighting a barbecue at Daisy Hill:

Mmm, fire's gorgeous. General settings but with the macro setting turned on. This one's a bit of a rough shot, but it still manages to get my attention.
