for everyone
This week on Picture Perfect the theme is Illumination.  I know that there will be tons of photos like mine, but I couldn't think of any other photo.

Candle and orchids
Taken by Wally Sosa  ©2008
Olympus FE-210

This is an arrangement that mom and me made 2 years ago.  It's a candle on a long plate with silk orchids and moss.  Mom loves orchids so I got these ones for her and the candle.  The candle has a great berry fragance.  We're fans of insence and candles at home.,  Everyday we lit one or the other.

I took the photo in the bathroom and lit it.  Love the effect of it.    Here is a photo I took the day we made it.

ahh perfect, flames are often a good source of light, a softer glow then just electric lights.

How lovely! I like that you gave us the "with the lights on" and with only the candle going! It's certainly a great take on the theme of Illumination!
