bokehlicious party

I would like to take the time and wish everyone a very happy holiday season, filled with peace, joy & love. Thank you all who visit my blog and take the time to comment on my work. Your kind words are a great support to me. They warm my heart & brighten my day each time. ♥ :)

I took this photo during the day with my Christmas tree as the backdrop. 

Loving the clean crisp light!

This one was taken at night with of course- the tree again as the backdrop. 

I also love the warmth of this image.

This photo was taken at night and therefore the light was kind of harsh, so I decided to give it a pastel look and it worked just perfect!

cupcakes ready!

I baked these cupcakes on Sunday with the help of my daughters. :) Hoping to get them do something fun together... but why is it that they love fighting so much? I don't get it... there were at least 18 cupcakes and they still tried to claim which one they were getting. Not to mention, they even argued about who was the best decorator! I sometimes ask myself, why are they so competitive? Sigh....

Embraced by Autumn's colors

This past weekend on Saturday, the weather was lovely and the sun was shining bright all day. I was excited that finally I was getting the chance to take out my camera and play. I didn't want to miss the chance to take pictures of the beautiful trees this year. So for me to do that,  I had to get up very early... and that is exactly what I did! I was up by 8:30 am! Too early for me, but I survived!Lol There's nothing better in this world than sleeping in on weekends! Who agrees with me? XD

Anyway, I waited for this moment months before. And here it was, the opportunity for me to go out there and just get in touch with the beauty of this season and capture it the way I wanted to capture it.

    I always loved this time of the year 'cause it is amazing to see how nature transforms itself. As I get older, I appreciate it even more. Not only that, I feel blessed that I'm able to capture just a glimpse of what Autumn looks like in my side of the world.
