Day Three Topic: “S”
Here is WebGuy’s photo:
S is for ‘scrumptious’. Despite my weight loss achievements this year, I still love good food. This berry cobbler does it for me. It truly is scrumptious.
Aside from that, I am trying to capture the yumminess of the food I photograph. I use all natural light. I choose food presented in a white plate or bowl. I get as close to the food as possible, to allow the viewer to see the texture, grain, and sheen in the food. I will try to have a relatively short depth of field to avoid any distractions from the background. All of these items contribute to a picture that makes my mouth water every time I look at it.
Oh yeah, I took this with my iPhone.
Here is Annie’s photo:
Stars
This is Robin’s bedroom door with his mission service poster. I count each day with stickers, not counting off the days til he returns home, but each day he serves. The regular days are stars, the days we get letters are hearts, and the days with double hearts are the days I’ve spoken to him on the phone (there are a grand total of 3 in the last 254 days).
I liked how this photo came out, illuminating a portion of the shiny stars with the light from the bedroom window. Not a competition worthy photo, but a fun one nonetheless.

Did you notice that the illumination makes a half heart, hinting that the heart will be complete when the whole board is filled in, and your son will be home?
Thank you for observing that Nancy! I didn’t see that until you pointed it out : )
Found your calm, matter of fact description of this “diary” of thoughts about your son’s service tremendously poignant.
Save it for your grandchild, god willing.
Cheers
