Made and decorated these cookies yesterday. I thought they would look good in a flat lay before they got eaten up!

This Blythe doll is Cream Cheese and Jam, posing for the theme “Roses” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I made the dress; the background is scrapbooking paper. I think my best pictures are the ones that are carefully color coordinated, like this.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
National Licorice Day was April 12 and National Animal Crackers Day is April 18
.
Here's some info about National Animal Crackers Day from nationaldaycalendar.com:
National Animal Crackers Day is observed on April 18.
This day brings us back to our childhood memories and the many boxes of Animal Crackers we shared with our friends. Animal Crackers refer to a type of small cookie baked in the shape of circus or zoo animals, such as a lion, tiger, bear or elephant. The most common variety are light-colored and slightly sweet. However, chocolate and frosted varieties are also available. Even though animal crackers are made with layered dough much like crackers, they are sweet like cookies.
HOW TO OBSERVE
National Animal Crackers Day is the perfect day to celebrate that childhood memory again. Pick up some animal crackers at your local grocery store and share them with family and friends. Share your photos of your Animal Crackers Day celebration using #NationalAnimalCrackersDay.
HISTORY
Our research was unable to find the creator of National Animal Crackers Day. It did locate information confirming in the late 1800s animal shaped cookies were imported to the U.S. from England. In 1902 animal crackers officially became known as “Barnum’s Animals” and evoked the familiar circus theme of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Later that year, the now-familiar box with a string was designed for the Christmas season made to hang from the Christmas tree. They were a big hit in 1902 and still are today.

Recently I did one of my regular trips to our local artisan chocolate maker in the next village and the designs on the tablet looked so nice I got inspired to take a photo of them: one milk chocolate, one dark.
We are now actively engaged in the process of eating them!

I'm trying to get a panel of photos for a competition at my camera club. I forgot all about it so as usual I am very last minute. This is one of the photos I am thinking of using. My husband bought me the beautiful glass teapot and I treated myself to the rosebud tea...it's deliciously refreshing but I realise it wouldn't be everyone's 'cup of tea'. I thought it would also come in handy for photo props...always have to think of photo props ;)
Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy, happy and creative 2018!
Oh No! not masks again
Haven't been online much over the last few weeks and John not at all as the dreaded influenza A has invaded the household. The dreaded covid mask was pulled from obscurity, and we both have battled (John, worse than I) to bounce back.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

Ce sera probablement mon unique prise de vue ayant un lien avec la St-Valentin pour cette année
CC: Flatlay or Knolling
Green is my favorite color, but the purple ones are the prettiest of the bunch and the purple one gets the center spot. Five varieties of sea urchin shells, with sea urchin spines to draw the lines.
I used what I had on hand to do this flat lay and I was just working in the garden when the idea become better formed in my mind. I had just gotten the fresh seeds and the box to store them in yesterday and bought the plants this morning for my garden. Those are actually my gloves just removed so the dirt is fresh. :D My daughter put the purple flower under the thumb. Happy Mother's Day!
