An angel's birthday

Yesterday was the birthday of someone very close to my heart.  She is so special her mere presence has made my life richer.  This picture best reflects how I think of her.  I saw it on my way home from work a few weeks ago and was looking for an appropriate time to post it.  Today is perfect.  I'm not sure who the artist was but these beautifully decorated thongs remind me of a post on Eric's blog (wonderful blog - please visit his site).  Of course Manly being what it is, it was only a few days before drunken idiots started ripping the thongs down.  At least I got a photo in before they did.
