Macro Mondays Guilty Pleasure Theme

 

I like sitting in a cafe with a cup of tea listening to the muffled voices around me.

 

At Newport Wetlands Centre cafe there are wall to wall windows that overlook a lake with many visiting birds.

Pain and Pleasure are certainly words to live by. Some believe both are forms of art. The art of pain being a way to push one to their limits without breaking them. The art of pleasure being the same. For many Pain is even Pleasure. So why not celebrate both... separate or together with these neon lights by BackBone. Both Pain and Pleasure come in red, blue, pink, purple, and even a special tintable version. So stop in at BackBone and see what fun things they have to spice up your home.

I do not eat or like chocolate much chocolate; only crispy orange flavored chocolate is definitely my guilty pleasure.

One of the rides at the Galveston Historic Pleasure Pier. We had a lovely walk out on the pier with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico and Seawall Blvd.

I spend too much time with this cactus hobby

A study for this weeks Macro Mondays theme, "Guilty Pleasure..."

 

Glenmorangie Scotch in a small tulip-shaped dessert wine glass. Speedlight in 3-foot softbox acting as a scrim.

 

While I am pleased with the technical aspects, including the pour, I feel that the image doesn't read as Scotch but wine, due to the shape of the glass...

 

PS - I finally decided to go with the high key concept here...

This ridge divides, or probably I should say connects, the two ranges of mountains that I love the most, those of the basin of the Sesia river and those of the basin around the great Toce river.

 

Shot taken from Turlo pass, (little door pass),

In the past, I crossed several passes above this ridge and even climbed a few summits, but It has been a very long time since I visited Turlo. Maybe more than twenty years. It is a pleasure to get back to a place and find that nothing has changed. It is like your memories could shine brighter, at least for the brief time you spend in the place that creates that sort of magic.

Probably, it is a pleasure that those who started to hike and climb mountains when they were very young have felt several times.

“The only difference between an extraordinary life and an ordinary one is the extraordinary pleasures you find in ordinary things. “ - Veronique Vienne. Although this sunflower pales by comparison the vibrant hello ones we saw, it has it’s own extraordinary beauty. For Sliders Sunday, I kept the tones light with a warm edit and created a bit more blur in the background. Celebrate the simple pleasures.

A camera is a photographers sanity. Who messed with mine? LOL..

Sometimes you have to just play with life and see what she throws you.

To Pleasure

 

Joy and balm of my life the memory of the hours

when I found and held on to pleasure as I wanted it.

Joy and balm of my life – for me, who had no use

for any routine enjoyment of desire.

What are yours?

 

Pequenos Prazeres

Quais os seus?

 

I hope you can enjoy little pleasures from your life, from your day. This is what really matters.

 

Saber transformar as pequenas coisas do dia-a-dia em pequenos prazeres é mesmo uma arte...aproveitada por poucos.

 

Boa semana, amigos.

Obrigados a todos.

 

Wish you all an amazing week!
