Rest in peace my beautiful Dad.

Thank you for your views, faves and comments.
Have a great weekend.
The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambience was so soft you could hear them speak...
The First Candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit."
Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
The Second Candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."
Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
Sadly The Third Candle Speaks, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." Waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly...A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end!"
Then The Fourth Candle speaks gently to the little child, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."
With Shining Eyes the child took the Candle Of Hope and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame Of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.
HMM, Everyone!

Palavras, ou luz ainda?
Palavras, não. Quem as sabia?
Foi apenas lembrança de outra luz.
Nem luz seria, apenas outro olhar. E.A.
I was at this dinner party on Saturday evening, and there were these three candles put on the stairway behind the dining table. It was my brothers 40th, a significant event, so I had my camera. The lights were low for the meal, and I spied these candles melting & glowing away behind every one at the table. The way the wax was melting looked so fantastic. Well, I HAD to get a shot!
