"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them." -- John F. Kennedy … one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
“Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through them.” -- Orison Swett Marden, American Author mid 1800s And my candle is melting away, too, as it is running out of time. It had thirty days for my challenge and the end is near. This photograph is capturing the remainder of the candle after the “Day 27 - the Four Elements” photoshoot.

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.” ― Frank Herbert, American Science-Fiction Author I reached my goal of taking 30 different pictures of a common household object, which I chose a candle to be. It took me a bit more than the 30 days and I was about to quit a few times along the way. However, motivating comments from my Photoclub members and friends on social media kept me going. I burned through almost 3 red candles in the process, I learned a lot about my camera, my flash, as well as Lightroom. My set-ups where always improvised as I don’t have any professional studio setup or equipment. There are still a lot of things I can improve but I am proud I was able to complete the thirty pictures. My creativity was challenged, and it was amazing when and where I sometimes got the inspiration for my next picture. Thank you for following ad encouraging me along the way.
