My response to today’s Photo Friday “Brightly Lit” prompt is actually a two-fer. Initially I had one photo in mind, then as I was searching for it I came across another that I thought seemed particularly appropriate, so in the end when I couldn’t choose between the two I decided to share both!
The first is a picture I captured of Oscar chasing dust particles in the sunshine. Parts of it are a bit blurry as he was in a constant state of head-darting motion, but I think that actually adds to the feeling I was trying to capture.
Photo Friday – Brightly Lit
The second is a photo of the “brightly lit” pumpkins we carved with a friend last Halloween. Unfortunately we didn’t have the time or energy to get together again this year, so I thought I’d get a little extra mileage out of our previous efforts!
Photo Friday – Brightly Lit
Actually… I say “our” efforts, when really I had very little to do with it. As it turned out, I ended up in the kitchen making Puddle Cake, as you’ll see by my account of the evening.
Ahem.
And, in the spirit of the holiday… today’s happiness is brought to you by a few minutes of fun creating my virtual Halloween “costume” on a silly iPhone photo editing app.

Since I’m not actually dressing up, I guess this will have to suffice!
Have a happy weekend!

Great photos. I loved all of them. The one of the cat is really fun. You all (or they) did an excellent job on the pumpkins. I love your photo-editing for a costume. I won’t be dressing up this evening either. Nor will be participating in any “Halloween” events. I hope you have a wonderful week too!

I remember being young and being fascinated by dust participles in the air. Sometimes I think we need to think in a more childish way. I spent my lunch taking photos, fascinated by the lighting. That’s what made me happy today!
