Blue and White on Snow

In other posts I’ve mentioned that my wife collects blue and white china. The other day we had a light snowfall, which melted fairly quickly, but which while it lasted left definite traces on the ground and the trees.

My wife liked the way this group of blue and white china looked against the snow covered branches outside and enlisted me to take a picture (her attempts with her iphone had not turned out too well).

So here it is.

A couple of still lifes

I was standing around in our house in Briarcliff Manor when I noticed some really nice light coming in through the kitchen window. The only camera I had was in my iphone so that’s what I used to take these pictures.

After I’d taken it it occurred to me that there might be some other opportunities around the house so I went looking and found this small swan soap dish in a downstairs bathroom.

A Hallowe’n Still Life

We went to Four Brothers Restaurant in Mahopac yesterday. It was a lovely day and the restaurant has a great location – right on the lake. The menu is extensive and the portions are huge. I ordered a ‘small’ salad and could only eat half of it.

After the meal we went outside to take a look at the lake. As we were leaving I noticed the group right by the exit.
