Angel Baby

Like so many others, I've lit a candle for Baby Ali, in hopes that by way of a miracle this little girl will pull through. I've had this candle for at least a decade (a gift from my mom, of course, and I just realized that it's moved with me to at least 6 different homes) but never found a good enough reason to actually light it.
I found one today.

In case you can't make out the passage on the candle, here's what it says:

A gentle hand,
a guiding touch
barely felt,
the sign of an
angel's
presence.

Happy First Blog-iversary!

So, I made my first blog entry one year ago today; who knew I'd last a year?!?!
I grabbed some cheesecake on my way home to celebrate...and so I'd have something to photograph! I'd like to dedicate my one-year anniversary post to Evelin who sent me a message just today telling me she was sad my blog has been so quiet lately. Thanks Hun, and I'll try to get back on track, just for you :)

Come on baby, light my fire....

So, blogger is finally up-and-running again :)
Brannon and I went to a BBQ/bonfire chez Tracy and Kevin on Sunday night. I decided to try to photograph the fire. I played around a lot and this is the best I came up with. No matter what I did or what settings I used the flash popped up on 90% of what I tried to shoot...Ggrrr...
