fast forward several hours. i was still disappointed with my challenge pictures from earlier, but all that was about to change. enter a mischievous little sprite named smidge. smidge was playing in the kitchen and somehow got up onto my knickknack shelf. peeking out through a lazer sculpture a friend brought back from a mexican vacation, she was grinning engagingly and then i saw it. 
lovely reflections serendipitously staring back at me…
i grabbed my camera and began to shoot.
my little sweetheart saved the day! 🙂
