** This challenge is going along beautifully .. thanks to all of you who make it this huge success!  You make me beam with pride!!!

I have ALWAYS wanted to know how to paint with light .. I've seen some very creative things done with that technique ... and have done some reading on it, but  I stopped myself short when I could not find the BULB setting on my Nikon. 

It's thanks to Piet for giving me the push and shove to pursue it and see it to the end.  :) 

I thought this was appropriate for this challenge .. as well as the fact that it is Valentine's Day.  My first attempt at PAINTING WITH LIGHT ... :-)  It was a lot of fun, and I intend on doing a lot more once the sun goes down here lol
