Fabulous shot. I've lost count too. I think I will stay at 42 like my Mum did. When she got too old to say she was 21 she said she was 42 and stayed at that age until she died 40 years later.
@inthecloud5 Thank you Christine. A pity, I forgot about the wish. I was to much concentrated on taking a decent pic and not burning the house, while playing with fire. ;-)
I love this very creative capture of yours M and wish you the best for your birthday. I hope you were able to blow out all those candles. All the best to you in this new year of your life! :)
