Statement

I don’t think its all about PP’s and TTs etc. Creative work with photography to show something worth while. Like this one - a composite work but I like the thought that goes with it!

Three good things:
1.Plumbers who go on holiday for 16 days are as bad as lawyers! Managed to find a washer at Placemakers though - maybe stop the flooding in the toilet - which of course is not as bad as flooding in cities and towns around the world!
2. John cut the rhubarb again but I’ve yet to find the recipe that doesn’t use sugar!
3. Looking forward to the last photos of 2015 from everybody! Including me who has absolutely no idea what to do!
Love this!

Beautiful, bright and cheery!

There's a large number of recipes available online. Just Google 'rhubarb sugar free recipes' and check some out.

@salza mmm- one I found just had an apple and a cinnamon stick added! Still be frightfully tart, I think! I just want stewed rhubarb not a pudding also.
December 30th, 2015  
Very creative..
December 30th, 2015  
I love the 'three good things' idea!

@lauramalone82 Sometimes its a struggle, Laura but its a good and positive exercise!

I love this creative composition Maggiemae - so arty !! As for rhubarb -I always add orange rind and juice to the rhubarb and sweeten them with artificial sweeteners (as I am diabetic )
December 30th, 2015  
I do like stewed rhubarb. Pity about the sugar.
December 30th, 2015  
@bobfoto Jason! How nice to hear from you!! You are still there hiding in some place around the world! I think I agree with you - i'm not going to avoid sugar!

@maggiemae - back in Australia now. Just thought I'd go for a little wander around the 365... 'tis a pretty place what with its pictures of flowers and pretty things.

@bobfoto There some great talent around too - and some non-talent as well!
December 30th, 2015  
I really like this. It would make a wonderful really large piece of wall art.
December 30th, 2015  
Very colourful and, it might be my glasses, but it looks 3D to me. My final picture for this year didn't go according to plan but well, have to go with the flow sometimes. Have you thought of using the rhubarb as a vegetable?
December 30th, 2015  
wonderful creativity. Let me know if you find a recipe without sugar as I cant find one either
December 30th, 2015  
Love this, so creative
December 30th, 2015  
Well done
December 30th, 2015  
haha, what's wrong with rhubarb and sugar? :) i'm a rhubarb lover, always have some in the freezer, if not in season. Rhubarb-b-q sauce marinated chicken leg quarters?

@damfino Sugar has become a bad thing lately, hubby says I put too much in the rhubarb - but then it is so nice!
December 30th, 2015  
Very effective and attractive.
December 30th, 2015  
Great image and beautifully done - The rhubarb dilemma is a definite issue - have you thought about trying "Stevia?"
December 30th, 2015  
For someone with " no idea what to do" you have come up with a very creative offering!
I searched the web for recipes for rhubarb using no sugar but wasn't sure why you wanted themso I have no idea if the ones that say use honey would work or if you could use another fruit for a sweetner. I amcertain you could find whatever you need on the WWW though!
December 30th, 2015  
@kittikat I saw that in a recipe but didn't know what it was, Kitti!
December 30th, 2015  
@grammyn There are lots of recipes for rhubarb crisp, cake, chutney, jam etc but very little for stewed rhubarb, Katy. Honey is an alternative but still has the same calorific value as sugar!
December 30th, 2015  
@maggiemae I wasn't sure if it was calories or medical reasons you wanted to avoid it! Try a sugar substitute?
December 30th, 2015  
@grammyn Its no real problem Katy - perhaps John thinks he's going to go on a jumping spree with too much energy!
December 30th, 2015  
Lovely image...very creative
December 30th, 2015  
I love your creation. it's beautiful, fav.
Have you heard of Stevia - a sugar substitute? here is a link from Wikipedia. I use for my tea and for baking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia

Another amazing example of your boundless creativity. Fav

Clever, creative image...#1 favorite thing...I figured out how to fix my toilet :)
December 31st, 2015  
@seattlite Well done you, Gloria - having to crouch down in a limited space with your head screwed round and very little light - thats a huge achievement!
December 31st, 2015  
Very creative. Completely agree about TP and PP. it's about our creativity and the relathionships we build. So fun to learn from others all over the world.
December 31st, 2015  
@ishutter Getting ideas as well as the friendly communication is so good too, Kim!
December 31st, 2015  
Yes we do - fav
December 31st, 2015  
I really like this. Love the colours and the grooviness of the photo.
December 31st, 2015  
A delightful composite, with a wonderful message. I agree on the PP/TT thing... it's just our day's creative journeys, as we find them, with our friends. I hope you solve the no-suger rhubarb dilemma, too. Good luck!
December 31st, 2015  
Wonderfully creative!
December 31st, 2015  
@rosiekerr Thank you Rosie for your agreement about journeys into the unknown - as it often is! No result with rhubarb - I guess it will be sugared and we will dance around the pot while it cooks!
December 31st, 2015  
Happy New year to you Maggie :)
December 31st, 2015  
Colorful and so creative!
December 31st, 2015  
@pixiemac Thank you, Sarah! Its the time to say the same wonderful greeting to you too!
December 31st, 2015  
Wonderful
December 31st, 2015  
awesome
Happy New Year
December 31st, 2015  
@ninaganci Thank you Nina - same to you!

Lee
Composite work is a dominant feature of you image portfolio, which is not, in the opinion of the purist photographer, a photograph. The image you post here tell me you are a creative person, an artist in your own right, although i do raise an eyebrow now and then. Good work
December 31st, 2015  
I second all those thoughts (except for less sugar in the rhubarb: I say, bring it on)
December 31st, 2015  
Very creative and effective Maggiemae. Wishing you and yours a very healthy and happy 2016.
December 31st, 2015  
I really like this Maggiemae. Very creative and imaginative
December 31st, 2015  
Lovely pretty composition, well put together.
December 31st, 2015  
A super composition - have a fantastic New Year.
December 31st, 2015  
@gamelee (Composite Photography) "a photograph formed by superimposing two or more separate photographs".. wikipedia. What I know as 'layering'. In this case Lee, there was only one photograph which an app turned into a tree and I added letters. I like the thought of your raised eyebrow, though!
December 31st, 2015  
So beautifully done Maggiemae, I love it and it's a fav.
December 31st, 2015  
Beautifully done! Love the sentiment
January 1st, 2016  
Very ceeative and artful image!
January 1st, 2016  
Very creative and a lovely message too!
January 1st, 2016  
Love the image and the message
January 1st, 2016  
It's wonderful Maggiemae. I have to say I loved your mum's story. It made a great read.
January 2nd, 2016  
Wonderful work and words, Maggiemae!!
January 2nd, 2016  
Cool processing- very "green"!
January 2nd, 2016  
I believe that if you mass produce this that it would be a favorite of environmentalists! Fantastic design!
January 4th, 2016  
I love what you have done here Maggiemae, and I agree with your sentiments. It's all about the journey!
January 5th, 2016  
@beachdog The creation of something is something we can all do in one way or another! Here on 365 its good every day!
