Single Photo Friday:: Cake

I forgot to post on Friday, and now it's Sunday. I am happily celebrating my birthday all weekend long and thought this photo would be a good fit.

These are not my cupcakes, but ones my nephew decorated for his own birthday back in April. Still, I like the mood they convey - which is one of happiness and fun. And there's something about already blown out candles that create a feeling of moving forward, being ready for what's next.

So, here's to many creative moments in the year ahead!

Single Photo Friday:: Lazy Sunday

I woke up this morning realizing it was Sunday (and the 4th of July!) and had no memory of posting to the blog on Friday. An easy thing to do during a busy week, both personally and professionally. So, this week's Single Photo Friday is arriving on a Sunday! And it comes with a little of that 'lazy Sunday' feel, coupled with a dose of light I'm kind of in love with.

Flag in my yard.

Happy Birthday, America! Hope everyone is finding a fun way to celebrate today.

Feel the Cake

Charlie Ellis turns 1.

Is there any better cake than the one you have on your first birthday? The freedom to eat fist fulls at a time while ingesting high quantities of sugar. The one time in life when more of your birthday cake ends up all over your body rather than in it. A moment that is all yours with a room full of people cheering you on. We all need more days like that in life.

I took this image over the weekend at Charlie's first birthday party. I love this shot. It's as if he's having a zen moment with the cake.
It makes me smile. And want cake.
