Photo of the Day

I'm doing something slightly different for today's "Photo of the Day" segment.

The original, untouched photograph.  Photo by me.
 Above is the original, untouched photo.  I decided to play with it a bit to come up with three new looks so I could compare them side by side.  Below are the results.  The original and Effect #1 are actually fairly similar.

Effect #1.  Photo by me.

Effect #2.  Photo by me.

Effect #3.  Photo by me.
Tell me what you think.  What is your favourite version of this photo?

Company's coming...

We had some company over to the apartment a few weeks ago.  My dad and stepmom were our first dinner guests.  I took some photos and have been meaning to post them ever since.  I made lamb stew with egg noodles for dinner and brownies for dessert.  We also had pita bread with hummous and a mezze plate to start with figs, olives, dried apricots and nuts.

Brownies cooling for dessert.  Photo by me.

Taking a moment to draw some inspiration from a magazine.  Photo by me.

A very fall centrepiece.  Photo by me.

Close up of the fall centrepiece.  Photo by me.

My husband and I found this cloche at a secondhand store for around $5.  Photo by me.


Bon appetit!  Photo by me.
