Since this week's photo quest was posted we have only had one evening with a twilight. It has rained and rained and rained some more.  We have had 7.75 inches of rain since Thursday!!! Nearly 8" in 5 days!

This is our street of row houses with the last rays of the setting sun shining on them:

I photographed a peacock feather reflected in a mirror.  Lighting was directly overhead the feather - there was no outside light and no flash used.  The walls in the room are yellow.  The camera  was a  Canon PowerShot SD 850 on Manual setting.   The camera was hand held and no software  was used  to manipulate or crop the photos after .
I took 47 photos and it was so hard to whittle them down to just a few!!

Last night was the company's annual "prom" and Em-derella was there in all her finery:   An Op-shop dress and beads her mother had given her.

Em-derella does not have a chariot, so her transport was a combination of shank's pony and metro train:

The jazz was cool but Em-derella knew it was time to go home when the gangstas started to look real and a wee bit blurry!
