 While I know this is a beautiful photo, fitting it into this challenge is a bit of a stretch, so we will see how those forces play against each other. This photo was taken while painting our new nursery, with beautiful reflected natural light. I Would have had a hard time getting manufactured light to look this darn good.

I really wish this was advanced, as for Flickr I blurred the background a bit and added vignette, which really competed this image.

Before I saw the title I was thinking this seems a little blue. Now it makes sense!
