I can't make out what it is, but it's pretty. I love photographing bright colors. Many times color itself can be the subject.

That is gorgeous! Marvelous gift! I like it.

Annie said...

Hi Moi, I was wondering before if there was a function to the beads. I was imagining it was a necklace but now I know.

I think you'd have a wonderful time doing a daily photo blog of your place. You'll find that lots of people come to visit your site to learn about your area.

Chica, Cienna, and Cali said...

tim : thanx..i'm glad u did!!! :)

annie: i need to go out more often for this one..and right now busy with my thesis , there's only so much time on hands..but yeah, it sure's on my agenda when i have more time to spare :)

Sarad said...

It's a closeup photo shot. I wonder how it looks when shot from a little farther. Would have to look at it up close and from a little distance to say something about it :)

oh, is it a candle holder?

Chica, Cienna, and Cali said...

jen : it's very pretty and yes when a candle is lit, it looks at its best..maybe i should try taking a shot of that ...:)

Eye catching...

Unknown said...

This a a beautiful shot. I love beads and I love the way you captured to color of your gift. And I am enjoying your other photos as well. A camera really opens your eyes to things gone unnoticed before, no?
