The Illumination of 50
2012 was a year when those who were born in 1962 marked their half-century birthday. It is an eye-opening and illuminating event when 50 candles are lit on the birthday cake. Not only do we see fire and smoke, but also we experience a feeling that makes us think…”Wow! I have been around for a while!” It is quite illuminating!

Happy Birthday, Jamie! Hope it was grand.
Thank you for illuminating us all.
I have never seen 50 candles on a birthday cake before. I thought that once you hit the legal drinking age you used one candle for every decade. So the most I’ve ever seen is 21 candles.
A first glance I thuought the cake was on fire 🙂 My thinking is the older you get, the more candles you need – the bigger the cake must be! But them I’m always looking for an excuse for more cake. Great pic for the theme.
I hope you had a great 50th! This is a very nice illumination picture for the challenge 😉
