I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. It is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with cream, fiery orange and deep red roses. The photos don't do the red or the orange justice. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.

Here is another capture from one of our favorite restaurants in Providence, RI . . . eclectic tastes in style and food . . . this was shot from our table for two up in a small balcony alcove!
Bon Appétit!
Chilly days and nights followed by warm traces of summer are becoming more the norm now....fall is on its way.

A discarded pop bottle and some flowers/weeds make for a nice picnic table setting for the campsite.
Inside an old preserved train dining car at the Guthrie County Historic Village in Panora, Iowa.
Developed and color-graded with Darktable 3.6.0.
With sincere appreciation to all who stop in to view or fave any of my images and most especially those of you able to take time to leave a comment -- thank you.
The main "Eat Street" in the Old Town of Tbilisi, Georgia is very welcoming and well worth stopping in for a meal.

The best part of these long nights is sharing a cozy meal out with a cherished friend. This is along the Mendocino Coast in Northern California, on a chilly winter evening.
TECHIE NOTES:
8 second exposure @ f/11 and 100 ISO.
Lighting this shot with its strong contrasts, took some ingenuity:
~ Natural light from outside.
~ Natural light from the candle.
~ A bounce flash through a diffusing white umbrella pointed at the ceiling to brighten the interior.
~ My trusty little LED flashlight to 'paint' the plates with light for just a second or so during the 8 second exposure.
~ A little ambient light from incandescent lamps about 20 feet away, behind where I was standing.
Photo taken in RAW. Sunset was at 4:52. I took this photo at 5:29. But I had set up the shot earlier. When the scene was set, I bracketed and tested every several minutes as the daylight decreased and dusk approached, to ensure a good final shot. Because of the different kinds of lighting, the white temp in camera was set at 'overcast'. White temp was adjusted in RAW converter very slightly. Dodged the table area in post processing a little to bring it forward to the eye. Adjusted color balance slightly. You can see where I 'light painted' the plates. They got a tiny splash of LED light from my flashlight during the exposure to bring up the details of the food.
A subtle halloween setting.
I spied the ghost plates in Primark last week, on sale, so they came home with me.
‘Snails + Mail by Su_G’: My entry in Spoonflower's Snail Mail Design Challenge. (Mockup c/o Spoonflower - if you were planning to hold a vote counting party this could be a good start for the decor...)

In my city the mail often arrives pre-loved by snails. They're particularly fond of stamps. Maybe it's the glue.
The link for voting will be / was www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=573 - open for one week only. There are 530 entries so far. Voting could be fun as I expect lots of different takes on the snail mail theme!

I love creating seasonal table setting installations,
but they're consistently a challenge to photograph as our antique table abuts a very bright plant window, so there are always light issues with reflections.
In addition, I've chosen a "copper" theme and was excited to find some very inexpensive silverware with copper tones! The runner is actually the backside of a quilted piece I made years ago!
Since I took this photo, I've changed the arrangement a bit more, adding two more glass swirling dodads which can be used as pen holders, chopstick bases, or just as decorations!
Happy Fall everyone!
The estancia, owned by the same family for over 100 years, is set in a 2,470 acre ranch that produces 12,000 liters of milk daily. It is used by the Uruguayan government when entertaining guests, offering them an authentic glimpse of Uruguayan life. Part of the fun is travelling to the river by choice of a hay truck, an old model T or a horse drawn carriage. A traditional barbeque (asado) is served accompanied by national wines.
We enjoyed our visit here very much. The barbeque was amazing.

I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with muffet68 today! We met at a restaurant in a historic converted mill building near my office. Very high ceilings, tall windows and the dining room is huge.
I zoomed in on a table setting on the other side of the room for today's ODC/ODT while ms. muffet was zooming in on something else. Oh yes.. we were paying attention to lunch... lol!
Twice this trip we dined at Trattoria da Gianni.
Gianni's courtyard dining room is a treat. Gianni himself is another story.
Abrasive opinionated prick some might say. Others might say just a proud Italian restauranteur. Regardless of ones opinion Gianni does make a decent gnocchi.
Check the forecast before making a reservation or you could dine wet.
A little food for thought as the holiday season approaches and many of us will be sitting down to elegant and extravagant meals.
HMBT!
I'd like to wish all my flickr friends and followers the very best for the New Year. Thank you for your support, encouragement and comments this year. Thank you also for all your wonderful photographs!
May your New Year's Eve be a festive one, whatever you choose to do. May 2020 be a happy and prosperous year for you all.
I love New Year, and a New Year with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore a four course New Year's Eve dinner had on the back terrace is a classic affair. Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware, napkin rings and antique linen. However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every New Year. This year my florist supplied me with white and yellow roses; two of my favourite colours. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
I love Christmas, and a Christmas with all the trimmings is just what I enjoy. Therefore Christmas luncheon had on the back terrace is a classic affair. Antique Edwardian salon chairs, Royal Albert "Val d'Or" tableware, crystal glasses, Sheffield cutlery, antique silverware and my grandmother's napkin rings, antique linen, embroidered napery, and festive Christmas crackers. However, it is my floral centrepiece that I enjoy most about my table setting every Christmas. This year my florist supplied me with cream, magenta and pale pink roses. The asparagus fern comes from my garden, as I like to create my own centrepieces.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day and are enjoying the time between here and New Year's Eve.
Second version of 'Layer upon layer, geology reflected by Su_G' in a tablewear mockup - in different colourways for the table runner and placemats - (c/o Roostery).
Still experimenting with the mix'n'match possibilities of these abstract designs - is it better to have the hotter or the cooler colourway down the middle of the table?

I'm finally accepting the fact that Summer really is over, and am enjoying the warm tones of Autumn.
The setting sun casts a warm light through my home around 6:30 p.m. these days. I like how it makes everything glow.
