'And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.' - Lincoln

Champagne?

Mmm heaven

Boz contemplates the outdoors

Ashley puffed from running around

My lovely Nima

Dad deep in discussion over the dinner table

My brother laughing at me taking his picture

My mother

The chocolate birthday cake my mum made


Dad took this lovely shot - he's got a bit of a love of photography too

I adore that Abraham Lincoln quote for it's simplicity, it's brevity and it's reality.
I turned one year older today, and spent it with those I love the most, enjoying being and things that spoil you every now and then. Like a bit of champagne, freshly picked strawberries (my favourite thing in the world), a home-cooked meal and cake to top it all off.
Days like these always remind you of what is important. And that every breathe you take is a gift, and something that cannot be predicted nor replaced.

**A special thank you to my dear friend who was kind enough to lend me her DSLR for a few days for me to have a play - I have her to thank for my pictures**

Amethyst Days like these always remind you of what is important. And that every breathe you take is a gift, and something that cannot be predicted nor replaced.

After reading this, I'm starting to get really excited about my own birthday this Saturday... you've made me reflect on a lot... beautiful photos, I love #10 especially.
