Strawberries by Allison

Strawberries

Before me and Aaron devour them, I thought I'd take a photo of these strawberries.

It's so cold here at the moment....from yesterday afternoon through to the early hours of this morning we had another snow storm.......good news for Aaron.....he got a snow day off from school, and has had a fun day, and has just told me to check out "something really important" in his room.......Ewoks battling the Empire....boys :-)
Beautiful white tones in this shot with a nice pop of red. It feels like there;s a little bit of a vintage summer feel to this though.

@pdulis thank you Peter.....my son doesn't like them, but mum does :-)
@jamibann it's funny you say that Issi, as I'm so indecisive about everything, not just photos, and I was looking at a shot that showed the entire bowl, but chose this one, uploaded it, and then when I did, I wished I'd picked another :-)
@leephotoofyork thank you David :-)

@humphreyhippo lolol he got so many Ewoks at Christmas (all with different names)......I'm not sure who won though, as some Marines entered the scene? ;-)
@adamj sounds good, and yes, even Mr Freeze would be packing up his suntan oil and speedos, and jumping on the next flight down South ;-)
@seanoneill thanks Sean :-)
@amyamoeba thanks Amy :-)
@richardcreese thanks Richard :-)
@hh that's very kind....thanks Kate :-)
@jpgiorgio haha it's anybody guess, as the Marines got involved ;-) lol
@shawnasays thank you Shawna :-)
January 23rd, 2014  
thumbs up!!
January 24th, 2014  
very nicely done... love the comp and the muted colours and light... and gotta love your kid... go ewoks!!!!
January 24th, 2014  
I'd have definitely been tempted to saturate the strawberries till they were glowing neon!.........however, I'll bow to your infinitely better judgement, this is lovely :)

Oh and Ewoks battling the Empire is VERY important......just so long as he remembers that Emperor Palpatine is keeping an eye on him! ;)
January 24th, 2014  
@tte thank you :-)
@northy lol so cute when they're that age "mum you really really need to check this out" lol
@bluefirebucket lol my cooking tastes like it should be glowing neon....no budding Delia Smith here, and yes, if Aaron makes a song and dance about taking a shower, I will threaten him with Emperer Palpatine ;-)
January 24th, 2014  
Looks delicious! Beautiful tones and light!
January 24th, 2014
