Mono Monday 106 Light

I had it in my mind today that I would like to combine a cat with candlelight  to present for my MM entry.  The light part wasn't so difficult in that it was easy to set out tealights and candles, although I soon discovered how hard it is to take a satisfactory photo!

The cat part proved more challenging:  cats are naturally wary of fire and even Dreamies treats weren't sufficient to tempt Lilly and Peggy Sue to perform.  So in the end I decided to settle for a lights only image when along came Tinkerbell...and saved the day!  It's not a good quality image (the extra, my original choice is a better photograph)as I only had less than a minute or so to grab the camera as she checked out the tealights,  but I do like the content as it fulfilled my original brief!

A quote for today's theme:

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
