Love is like pink sparkly glittery sprinkles for cupcakes.

For my get pushed challenge to capture the word LOVE using my new macro lens without taking a photo of my boys or husband. I have pondered this one for the last few days. What is love, what do I love. The word love in the English language covers so many things. I love a Mcvities dark chocolate digestive, I love an autumnal walk in the fresh air, I love my camera, I love snuggling up with a good book on the sofa, I love my boys, I love watching a good film with my husband, I love our local pubs lamb shank with trimmings and hot chocolate fudge cake, I love my husband, I love the smell and feel of clean bed linen... The love for my local pubs best grub is pitiful compared to that I have for my family. But all the things I profess to love in life bring joy and colour to it in different measures and help to bring colour and joy to life.

@lynnilou A first go at your challenge...

[Simply Amanda]

Beautifully said and captured. You, my friend, are a girly girl. Pink sparkly and glittery, huh?:) Are you all having more kiddos? Trying for that girl? My girlfriend had 3 boys and got a girl on the 4th.:)

[Newbank Lass]

@amandal I am SO NOT pink and sparkly. And no. No more kids. We have what we have been blessed with. My eldest's favourite colour is pink.

[Newbank Lass]

@amandal I found the sprinkles in my baking cupboard and hey presto....

[Simply Amanda]

I try to be into pink some for my girl's sake, but I am a blue girl, through and through:). And HATE sparkles:).

[Newbank Lass]

@amandal My other idea revolved around taking pictures of jigsaw puzzles...

[Simply Amanda]

Good find:). Too bad they are not blue;-).

[Ukandie!]

Gorgeous shot, it brightened up a rather grey looking morning here, and loved your narrative. You now have me thinking of dark chocolate digestives.

[Newbank Lass]

@amandal I had yellow and orange ones too....They didn't seem to fit love so well...

[Newbank Lass]

@ukandie1 I finished a packet whilst editing....yummy!!
