Wow! How resourceful you are! I could swear I had a shirt with of tartan. Don't know if I'll go for kilt though.

Good to be back, thanks! But no Scotch in front of the fire (or is that spelled Scot's?) I thought for sure Sawyer was a Scottish name!!! You even have a family tartan!!!

Jade, welcome back!
The halo is probably due to the movement of the flame during exposure. The tight framing is due to my lack of time to clone out some items!
A scotch in front of the fire would have been nice, but it is actually a glass of water in front of a red, one-wick candle. The refraction of light in the glass of water made it look like three merged flames.

This is a really tough shot to do well, I think. Very few visual clues to orient the view given the tight framing and the flames appear "haloed" somehow. Wonderfully warm colouring and I sense a scotch in front of the fire.
