A Vase.

A dull gloomy day, after much rain in the night. A day of woes!! Woke up to aches and pains, went to set up this still life for 365, went to take the photo only to find the camera battery was dead! Fitted the spare = that also was dead . hence had to recharge . ( wish it was as easy to recharge my energy!) Lit the candle, sneezed out the flame! Eventually took the photo, and enjoyed the edit!
PS-I should be known as Calamity Jane today!
