A Candle in the Wind....


Our Christmas tree each year, cut only a few days before the big day so that it is the ultimate in fresh, is dressed with candles on Christmas eve, as we do our presents.

Of course for safety, we test the tree to make sure it hasn't dried out too much, and most years we've been able to light the candles. They last abt 1.5 hrs then self snuff out. This one caught my eye, as a runner, not normally happening on these, started to peel off and fall slowly down the candle. I grabbed my cam and snapped as carefully as possible...and without flash.

I hope you like it, as I do. There was a touch of air movement, as the fire in the fireplace demanded its oxygen, the candle flames bend that way a touch.
