Foto Friday Challenge: Circles

Posted in Photography

Munchkin felt that we couldn’t leave out these yummy pink gluten free cupcake circles from the challenge. They didn’t last long, so it was a good thing that I snapped a picture right away. While watching the Commandant’s Own, the Drum and Bugle Corps, we saw lots and lots of circles.  This particular picture was one that we really liked.

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Gluten Free
