Not one of my best attempts. I have been struggling with the quality of tonights shots. With 3 completely different lighting elements, all at different kelvins and intensities, in different areas, it has become a challenge within a challenge. So far it is winning, but I figure I have a couple more weeks to work on it. I am pretty pleased with the concept of the photo to match todays prompts and challenges. And I did not have to go far, which is good as I wasn’t quite in the ready to head out yet. This is one side of the house. And not all of it, but enough to start documenting it. I have always had a countdown display of some sort to raise the excitement levels. Before projections like this were a thing, I would get venturesome and build creative displays using large stopwatch like devices (the kind you would see at a track and swim meets, etc.) If my kids were any indication of a typical response driving past a countdown, or the first time they would see the display after I had it all up, I am sure I have caught many other parents unaware as their little passengers suddenly yelped in glee when coming upon the bright lights. Heck, I even let out a little yelp when I come upon a beautiful display. I guess I can’t help it. It is the magic of the season. Have a great Wednesday. We so love having you around.
My song response for the Manic Monday prompt – Naughty or Nice.
When I first saw the naughty prompt, this was immediately the first song that came to mind. Taking me way back to my teens, I knew that if I heard the lyrics I would know the song immediately. I just could not remember, right away, who sang it. With the genius app and youtube, I tracked it down. I can remember the day I first saw this video, like it was yesterday. Talk about naughty! 😂 I do enjoy reminiscing with 80’s Hair Metal songs!

Night photography is a skill I’ve yet to learn. Really must though as I’d love to capture lights. So glad you didn’t have to go far for your #timesquare. Continue to take care of yourself, and here’s another virtual hug 🤗

That’s what your challenge does to me! And when a prompt brings back a song from way back not only do I remember a long forgotten song, but the memories associated with that song come flooding back! So thank you!
