It’s only a couple of times a year that I get shadows like this on the worktable in my studio. I haven’t kept track of what times of the year this happens and for how long, but now must be one of those times as I took this photo yesterday. Archeologists of the future might think that Venetian blinds were some sort of crude astronomical calendar. And speaking of which, my calendar, crude or otherwise, tells me this is the Fashion Queen’s birthday. It’s a nice round number, more than that I shouldn’t say. But I have had the privilege of spending more than half of her life with her. I am a better person for it, not mention happier.

Happy Birthday to the Fashion Queen! No matter what her age might be, she’s looking good!
Happy Birthday, Fashion Queen!!
Happy Birthday to the Fashion Queen!
And I LOVE shadow pictures like that… 🙂
Happy Birthday Connie!
Happy Birthday to your sweet, precious Fashion Queen. She’s one in a million!
Love the dramatic shadows from the Venetian blinds. Happy Birthday, Connie! Your words are so touching. I know you feel blessed to have her by your side.
Thanks everyone, that is I thank you and Connie (oops, the Fashion Queen) thanks you for her birthday wishes!
