Oct 30/10 Birthday Celebration

Birthday Celebration, originally uploaded by susanvg.

We went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. The restaurant was cosy, conversation convivial, food was fantastic. A perfect setting for the daily shoot's challenge - Today, let's illustrate the emotion of being happy. Make a photograph that represents happiness to you.



Meanwhile, outside the restaurant we had our first snowfall. While I enjoy some nice winter days when I can get out on snowshoes or walk in the crisp air; winter in the city is not so alluring. The snow didn't last, but it was a reminder to get all the things done which need doing before it comes for good.
Hmmm... turn off the water to the outside tap, bring in the patio furniture, get the snow tires on the car, put the brush and shovel into the car........

July 18/10: Porgy and Bass

July 18/10: Porgy and Bass, originally uploaded by susanvg.

Title thanks to my daughter. She is a Gershwin fan.

Sometimes birthdays last a day, other times they extend over several days as one celebrates with friends and family. Tonight my family was all available so we went to a restaurant to enjoy good company, great food and some wine. Molivos is a Greek restaurant with great appetizers and fish that is grilled. There was a nice selection, A few of us shared porgy and bass (Mediterranean bass not endangered Chilean bass). No singing other than singing the praises of the wonderful food.

Daily Shoot: Find something that's out of context today, natural or staged, and make a photograph.( The lobster was live - walking over the fish.)
