When my fearless partner chose smoke as our theme this week I was thinking, “Oh fun! Good challenge!”
And then…(yes, there is always an excuse) I kinda left it to the last minute. VERY last minute. As in – J. had to throw the girls in bed so I could run out and try to take some photos in the fading light. And then…I made J. make a fire because I wasn’t sure I even got a wisp of smoke in any of my candle shots. Finally I sent this one on to K., and then opened her fabulous shot!
How cool is her perfect curl of smoke? And now, with them side by side, I really, really like our dipy this week. I love how the purples play off one another and how her smoke looks like it is escaping from my candle. I really am pleased with it.
Make sure to stop over to Megan’s for other dipys this fine Thursday, too!
Fearless? Eh, I don’t know about that.
We really do always end up with a nice pairing don’t we? It’s like these two photos just fit together organically. Thanks for being willing to stretch with me on the tougher themes. And thanks again for picking me for your partner! 
You are absolutely right. Perfect combination this week. And “smoke” what a cool theme. I don’t think that one would have crossed my mind.
What a cool theme! Once again, you two are the perfect photo pair.
You have the best ideas…always so creative!
I totally agree your dip turned out great. I love those wispy tendrils of smoke in the air. And the way the purples just happen to be similar really ties them together. Really neat.
DANG! you ladies rock. A tough theme, and look what you did with it. Such a perfect dipy, those purples are unreal! I’m awarding you two an A+ this week.
It really is a fabulous set. I love it!
Great mix of smoke.
I really like both of yours
these create such a mood together: mysterious and slightly edgy! i would never have thought of this great theme.
It sure is a beauty. How did she get that purple smoke???? So cool the way they work together. I failed to do anything last week. Hopefully we’ll be back in the saddle this week.
