Botched Intentions

The photo pretty much spells it out and

 left clicking photo should bring

it up easier to read.

  What puzzles me is.... why is there

even a crumb, let alone a bite, left on the plate?

crepes and crikey

Above is my breakfast today---some wonderful crepes made with whole wheat

flour (from Cooks .com) filled with flavored lite cream cheese and chopped

walnuts....topped with lite syrup, more nuts and bit of parsley for color
seems heavenly to find a way to enjoy such a treat that I can

make myself...looked better not sliced for a photo

*****************

then below I get a chance to use the English (Cockney?) term

"Crikey ! "---for not moving myself a bit when

taking this horse photo---to eliminate the

tall grass thing in front of his nozzle... my brother in law

was elected for 10 terms I believe

and found a new use for the political signs

Hot and Cold

My icy cold water with

cool lemon slice is in extreme

contrast to my yellow VW out

there in 98 hell degrees !

Past Friends Past

I LOVED paper dolls and dressy dolls

and funny dolls etc. I imagine as a child

I wanted to grow up and wear these outfits..

....and maybe be a queen or at

the very least a princess.

Hi Anne !

Now, if I ever get the urge to paint bricks and

a whole lot of them---this photo I took yesterday

of a friend going into an art exhibit , would be one

I would return to--I asked her to go by the words

which I love and she said asked "should I wave?"

.....I was too busy composing the shot to answer, so she

just did wave and I liked that interaction look, plus

her clothes have great color and shadows....

A Moment of Eyecatchers Collected

In my kitchen just now with camera in hand

I wonder what I will see to photo--what will

catch my eye and here are three of them

moments like these are the seeds of future

works perhaps or may have been meant

to be this day's offering in my blogspot.

*************

This tea pot has been in some of my work and

this morning with its hat tipped and the

early morning light--- it screamed

"take me take me" to my camera.

Below is the round ball of elastics I bought for

a whole $ at Michaels as the really big ones

were what I was getting lately as I reached inside

the catchall draw for an elastic--good investment I say.

The pig is an indicator on top of my

Mr Coffee---his position tells me from across

the kitchen if I need to make coffee or

maybe it is brewing already. I bought

in in a hardware store by the cash

register as his full details amazed me

What time is dinner?

see photo above, for the Easter dinner I will be

having...the St Edward's Island

mussels I steamed last night and

have flash frozen for some

later meal..I saved a few shells as

they add coastal ambiance to any sea

food repast.....it surprised me that

I hadn't noticed the shells resemble

hearts when opened---it'll include

the Alaskan King crab meat, I just

shelled, (using some great strong

scissors that worked best, plus getting

two pot holders sopping wet with

crab juices) nestled next to a melted

butter shell cup--a dollop of mashed

sweet potato, a wedge of Jarlsberg cheese

with hot Maine blueberry tea to aid in

the digestion.....burp!

from The Palette Inn---on the coast of Maine

************************************

(this is an email sent out to some

family and friends as a joke---

I do not own any place on the

coast of Maine---and the flowery

meal discription seems to be how

I might have to do a menu , if

I did...:-)

Not Speaking ?

I always stop at Orphan Annie's

in Auburn Maine and this time I

was two days early for the great

antique Halloween display they

have each year. This dolly seemed

less scary then some of them that

stare at you with vacant eyes. I think

she and Ted had a spat and he has

been sent to the porch with no tea.

I loved imagining scenarios when

playing 'dolls'--either this kind or

the paper ones--it was such a thrill to

have my Mother bring me some new ones

when she went shopping overstreet. That

would mean going over

the bridge from Auburn

to Lewiston on the bus

where there were more stores.

OUCH !!

Remember this plant holder I was so

pleased to find for the mint? Well, as you

can see, a gust of wind pushed him off

the bench----I put him in the

barrel for the dump

and then found him standing

back on the bench grinning at me

so I decided to keep him

as he makes me smile.

(I am assuming Kimberly put him there.)

Oh what a tangled tongue we get..

I bought this bunch of money plant

in Eastport for $2.50

which was a great price and others

wanted some but that was the only

bunch---so I was extremely

content. Now, this morning I decided to

use it in a photo for the Blog

and the rabbit was the only

prop that appealed to me

---then what the heck will the

name be was the next step

----then the name jumped in

my head and I noticed it got

tangled on the tongue after so many

repeats and added the challenge for you

Red Hip

The wild rose hips are looking tasty--but

looks can be deceiving---this must be one

mean snack !

Catching a Fly

I saw this fly on the fence post

and doubted I could

get a shot of him as

he was moving around continuously...

so I got in front of the

post and waited for him

to come around the corner....

sure enough he

did.... and then turned

around and smiled.....

Dropped Hose

I liked how the dropped hose forms an

interesting design--what do you

see for design in your yard?

Whoops!

I took this photo two year's ago at

The Vines in Groton Long Point and just

now noticed the cushion which goes

with the expression quite well !

Hey, Mom, can we come out?

Taken at a near by house--I got several shots

with one, two, three or even five cats

at once..I like this one for the interaction

of the owner and her pets

On The Fence

Another Vermont scene--I know when I take

a shot to remember a place it has

too much in it to be interesting and a good photo

---this is better with a

center of interest, however you can not tell

where it is.

Festive Window Scene

Sunday Aug 17 02

Since I've been doing this for 8 months

now I can't recall if I used this photo

before. It's in Vermont and my friend,

Anne has stopped the car and let me out so

I could take this photo.

Chime Design

Out on the back porch, two old battered

chimes take on a cool look with a

different camera angle

Want some?

Since I am busy with an online class I

am not getting this done as early as

usual. I just saw this growing out

under the birch clump---picked it...sliced

it and sauted with onions with a dash of

soy sauce and honey---wow!

does it ever taste odd--aarrrrrggggggggg...

Out on the lawn just now.

So the guy on the left asks

"Are we six of one or half a dozen of the other?"

then the middle guy says,

"Makes no difference bird brain!"

Which makes the guy on the right say:

"What a bunch of turkeys !"
