The sunsetting through the blinds in my guest bedroom.

Creme Flutes is something that everyone growing up in Luxembourg knows about. These are the homemade variety by Sonna from www.fliegendekuchenfee.de , taken in natural light (sunshine) with a bit of diffusion from a piece of curtain and a gold reflector

A pretty bouquet of red flowers sitting on a vase in front of a window.

In the first light of the day, a Christmas star meets the sun — a quiet reminder that light always arrives gently.

as I was doing this, working the cheesecloth, that image popped into my head.

B and W conversion-- Leica SL- NIkon 55 1.2 adapted.

Only time for a couple shots tonight. Her grandmother brought her these flowers today.

I was quite discouraged after I posted the 3 images of Tishelle a week ago. I thought that they looked good until I saw them later. Afterward, I felt they were too dark and contrasty.

I had to redo them. This time I lessened the contrast and performed a curves adjustment to lighten the shadows.

I think (and hope) that they are better. What do you think?

figured out that a flickr contact of mine,kristina and her family, live just a few blocks away from us. we finally met for coffee today. this is her older daughter, clara. her younger daughter, frances, is just one day older than gemma! what a really small world!

we had a great time! thanks kristina!

what. WHAT!

yep it's raining again. International rugby on the gogglebox this afternoon to make up for it though! 8-)

These two have been best pals since way back in the day.
