Natural Light and all it's glory

Before it stared raining like Noah was around the corner, I finally got around to taking pictures outside -- in that natural light that everyone talks about.

These earrings were one of the pieces I managed to get before the camera died (thanks, hubby, for buying cheap batteries). I call them 9 Days Queen, after Lady Jane Grey. They're made of freshwater pearls and -- what else? -- Swarovski crystals. Seems that I have a lot of those hanging around the house.

These are another set that I got outside (as if you couldn't tell by the parking lot in the background). I call these Scheherazade.

I guess I'll have to work on that natural light a little more.

What do you think?
