Anthony turned five years old today.
Like last year, he picked out his own present. This year it was a little train set...

“Happy Birthday Anthony”
In the picture above, I like the perspective of the candles and how they rise out of the focus into the blur.

There Seems to be More Candles Every Year

Now that they're out, the candles are just impediments to CAKE

Very cool, thanks Nils. Fumie and Anthony were just talking about Dr. Yellow today, but I don’t think they’d ever seen it, so this is very timely. Thanks! —Jeffrey
Congratulations!
Can Genbo come to your house and play with your trains? 🙂
