Su-weet! Very pretty. Are you allowed to eat the cookies?

I nibble one or two--and then accompany it by a big bowl of salad with scant dressing, and a bit of lean protein. But no, I set up the picture, H gets the cookies. Usually what I have with my tea is raw veg or fruit and yogurt, or H's flourless oatmeal cookies, or pumpkin bread, or something like that. But cookies are photogenic, and I didn't feel like faffing with food yesterday. *g*

*drools at the thought of H.'s pumpkin bread*

He isn't baking in this heat, but come fall? Oh yes, pumpkin bread is on the menu!

You are welcome anytime! If you need an "excuse," you could come to SeaCon--or VanCon. I'm pretty much in the middle between them.

How very civilized and lovely. There's something so, I don't know, relaxing about a lovely tea tray.

It started out as a moment to slow down, take a breath, and refortify for the end of the work day. And then it became more about the photography, the composition, balance, the light. And then photo manipulation to reproduce what I see--when a photo doesn't always quite succeed. Makes me happy when the colors are true, and the light is nearly perfect. It's more about the photo than the ritual, lately, and the concentration does provide focus, to shut out mental clutter for a while.

What a terrific and original creative outlet. A neat little ritual too. I know what you mean about light and/or color not coming out true to the eye.

You're photos are lovely and appear effortless.

A million years ago there was a film, The Four Seasons, starring Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Jack Weston, Sandy Dennis, Rita Moreno, Len Carriou, and Beth Armstrong--four couples who were best friends, had kids the same age, and did things together--rent a beachside cottage, crew a rented sailboat for the summer, spend the holidays in a cabin at a ski resort ( ... )
