Emilia celebrates her 100th birthday in St. Petersburg Florida at Brentwood Senior Living Community -- Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/5.6 ISO 800 1/60th SB-800 hotshoe mountedAs it turns out, in little over a week's time, I photographed a 50th birthday party and then this morning a 100th birthday party! Emilia turned 100 years old today and had a big party at Brentwood Senior Living Community in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was joined by many of her friends and family, and as you can see above, entertrainment was provided by Liberace! His performance went over very well with the senior crowd.

Everyone came over in turn to help Emilia celebrate and also to get a piece of cake!
A special Lithuanian cake that was very rich and delicious - St. Petersburg Florida birthday photography - Nikon D80 Nikkor 80-200mm @ f/4 ISO 640 1/100th SB-600 hotshoe mountedEmilia's family is Lithuanian and they brought the special Lithuanian cake you see above, and yes that is a candle that says 100 on it! The cake was great, truly unlike any I have tasted before. A very rich taste, though the cake itself was light and dry, with crystalized fruit between layers. I noticed I was one of the only people that finished their entire piece of cake.
