The Weekend in Black and White

The mercury-glass candle lamps
remind me of all the ice we've had around
here so far this year.  The forecast 
for today is temps in the 50s and sun—
but snow again next week.  Oh well.

Candle lantern

One of the things I've tended to amass
over the years (along with Eiffel Towers, salt
cellars, and egg cups) is candle lanterns. I had a
candle lit in this one the other night and had
to experiment with my iPhone macro lens.

Though I am trying to pare down
my "stuff," I admit I'll 
probably keep this.

Mandarin Orange Monday, and Macro Monday.]

Shadow Shot Sunday

I put these candle lamps out because I 

like the way they look all together when 

the candles are lit.  Come late

afternoon I discovered a bonus—

and I think I like the shadow even more.
