I was out briefly this evening to shoot for just a little bit. The light was too good to pass up.

I spotted this leaf caught up in a flowering what-ever-it-is late this afternoon and thought the evening light would be good. It was.
Our friend Robin wanted to make my wife Ellie a birthday cake based on a quilting theme since Ellie is an avid quilter. She outdid herself:

When is Ellie’s birthday? Mine is today!
By the way, the lighting on the plant with leaft is soft and beautiful…
Wow….that cake person is talented beyond belief!!! Or is it just your photography that makes that cake look so good?
I think it’s obviously the talents of both the photographer and the baker. I happened to know them both and I can attest to the fact that they are also talented in picking friends.
Happy Birthday to Ellie. I am sure that she enjoyed both.
Thanks for the compliments an the cake was every bit as good as it looked! It doesn’t look quite the same now as we ate a big chunk.
