Birthday Wishes

The very first featured photo of this year had to be one of Grace blowing out her candles on her 9th Birthday cake. What I love about the top photo is the smoke billowing from the candles. To me, it is making patterns in the form of the wishes she might be making for this year – I can see a smiling face, a butterfly, ribbons and a swan.

  8. Hi Victoria, I hope Grace had a fantastic Birthday. It can be hard having a birthday near Christmas when you’re a child, other children may not get shared Christmas/birthday presents, but neither do they get to have twinkly decorations up!

    I love that first picture, with the swirls of smoke and I love the idea of them being wishes!

    I was lucky enough to get a ‘proper’ camera for my birthday/Christmas (I didn’t mind as it was something I wanted and know they are pricey). At the moment I am clueless/petrified of it, but one day I hope to be taking interesting photos like you.

    Wishing you and your family a cracking 2016!

    xx

  9. Lovely selection of images and I see what you mean about the smoke being wishes! May they come true. Happy new year Victoria. #MySundayPhoto

  11. I think your photo with the smoke swirling is beautiful and I wonder what she wished for?!
    You’re a year ahead of us as we’ve just had Mademoiselle’s 8th birthday. Where does the time go?!

  12. Love the way you’ve captured the smoke from the candles where Grace has blown them out and the pictures you can see in the smoke too. Hope that Grace had a wonderful birthday and wishing you all a very happy new year 🙂
