All That Glitters… Ain’t Gold

Today’s challenge attempt was inspired by Gold: the epic closing track from one of my favourite Prince albums, The Gold Experience.
A full-time wheelchair user since 1998, Claire lives in an adapted bungalow in England with her Partner of 10 years and their two dogs: Ziggy, a 4 year old ex-racing Greyhound, and Hector, a 1 year old Whippet.
Claire loves photography, cups of tea, fluffy pyjamas and writing gritty fiction. Androgynous musicians rock her iPod, whilst her hounds rock her world. You may read more about Claire, here. It is worth noting that comments/Emails make Claire all warm and fuzzy, therefore contact is very welcome.
…and where did you acquire that little Prince memorabilia? Just intrigued to see if you remember.
James:
It’s a small, gold-coloured lapel pin that K bought for me as a surprise gift from when we went to see Prince at the O2 on 7th August 2007.
It was the last one they had on the merchandise stand in the entrance hall and K had to beg them to let her have the one on display (if I remember rightly)… I have a pretty good memory when it comes to my collection… It’s remembering everything else that I struggle with. 
The colours remind me of Christmas…
You make the most ordinary things look magical with your camera
Teesee:
The FanGirl in me wants to say that it’s because Prince makes most things feel like Christmas.
Yeah, you can kick me now. 
That’s probably the coolest thing someone could say to me about my photography; my aim when I look through the lens is to try and see mundane things in a whole new way. You’ve made my day.
You should print your own Christmas cards this year, I’d buy a few! Take a picture of a nice bauble or two, or some Holly (Oh I have a Holly bush in my garden… it’s given me some ideas) and there you have instant Christmassy themed cards!
And I’m glad I made your day
Ooh! Such talent! I love the colours!
