When you drop a raisin in the glass of champagne, do you know what it will do? It is going to bounce up and down from the bottom of the top, continuously.
In the song lyrics from 'Hotel California' from The Eagles
they had "..mirrors on the ceiling.. ♪ ♫ pink champagne on ice.."
Pink Champagne was made famous in the 1957 classic movie 'An Affair to Remember' when both of the lead romantic actors fall in love with each other and share 'pink bubbly'.

Champagne is made from four different grapes:
1. Chardonnay (white wine grape)
2. Pinot Noir (red wine grape)
3. Pinot Meunier
4. Pinot Gris
So how come all Champagne is not pink?
fun facts:
Grapes are all white on the inside and it is only the outside skin that has any color. Therefore one can make a white wine out of a red grape; just remove the skins immediately so that there is no red color added to the wine liquid.
For example Zinfandel is a white wine yet zinfandel is a red grape. To make a white Zinfandel, they just let the skins stay on the liquid for a short while, this allows a small amount of the tint from the red skin color the wine liquid, giving it a nice blush color.
When they make a Champagne, even though they use 'red grapes' they take the skin away immediately so that none of the red color from the skin affects the overall color of the Champagne liquid.
In order to make a Champagne a pink Champagne, all they have to do is let the skins sit with the liquid for a short while. The longer it sits together, the more blush pink the liquid becomes.

While picking up my order of coffee this afternoon, I spotted the Starbuck's sign reflected in a drop of water / coffee on the counter. Of course, I snapped and flipped it! :-)
Have a great Wednesday and thanks for the visit.
"Besides the precious metal value and visual aesthetic, a silver utensil can 'self-sanitize' and is 'cleaner' to eat with it primarily because silver has antimicrobial properties due to the 'oligodynamic effect' of the silver metal. " ~Tomitheos

fun facts:
The silver spoon was also used to detect if the food had any kind of poisonous chemicals by changing its color; this way the wealthy landowner of the Middle Ages would know if he had been served a poisonous dish from his servants by observing the discoloration of his spoon.

A bit of macro magic.. ;D
Dandelions, resin, photography and jewellery making :) A few of the things I enjoy :) These cuties are ready for silver end caps before they morph into earrings or maybe a pendant :)
I dreamt of a leaf on my fingertips.
A leaf that grew between my lips,
My eyes were opened in my sleep..
I saw it unfold before it leaped.
It was not dry, this maple leaf..
But it could not drink the rain's relief;
Its shadow grew tall below my hand,
It then took flight on the wind's command.

Spider Web with Dew
Another one of those Happy Accident photos, this time opening up and wondering how I achieved this. Low f/stop--4.5. I adjusted the curves a little to make it darker and bring out some color in the dew/bokeh on the web. I have a few similar to this one. Looks cool large too. :-)
5 steps a nude model should know:
1. Discuss your comfort level with the artist, physical attributes, flexibility and abilities (yoga, karate etc.)
2. Shower or bathe bathe before the session, this improves the skin's appearance.
3. Bring your own robe, towel to sit on, a thong (for women), a sock (for men) and slippers.
4. Follow the artist's direction during the session and ask before moving from your position.
5. Upon completion, ask for feedback and if you are required to be scheduled for another session.

Makromagie: Magnolienblüten im goldenen Licht.
Diese Nahaufnahme fängt die feine Struktur und Farbverläufe frisch erblühter Magnolien ein. Die Blütenblätter reichen von zartem Weiß bis hin zu tiefem Rosa, sanft umrahmt von den knorrigen Ästen eines alten Baumes. Der Hintergrund verschwimmt in ein pastelliges Bokeh aus Blüten – ein poetischer Ausdruck der Ruhe, die die Natur im Frühling ausstrahlt. Perfekt, um für einen Moment dem Alltag zu entfliehen.
[ENG] Macro magic: magnolia blossoms glowing in golden light.
A close-up of magnolia blossoms reveals their delicate textures and soft color gradients, from gentle whites to rich pinks. Framed by the gnarled branches of an old tree, the petals stand in elegant contrast to the blurred pastel backdrop of more blossoms. This poetic scene invites quiet reflection—a tribute to the gentle side of spring, captured in a fleeting moment of natural grace.
