Cafe

Decided to update my photo - once a year should be mandatory. I was horrified with my crepey skin and used Photoscapes texture overlay of ‘frosted glass” and inverted the focus. I was quite interested in this particular edited photo that my eyes looked brown instead of blue.
Three good things:
1. Found banana goes beautifully sliced on top of hot porridge! Of course, there is brown sugar and yoghurt also!
2. Wore an hand knitted jersey I had finished in the 1970s - the orange and black colours have returned. But its a bit hot even in winter! Double knit.
3. Fragrant coffee and a crispy cheese roll for morning tea at our nearest cafe! Hence - today’s photo!
I'm continuing to hide behind my collie, she's way better looking! What a nice room:)

Whoops, just realised it's a nice cafe!

@fbailey Its an old house, but has been beautifully renovated!

I've changed my photo a few times but depending on which device I use it doesn't always update!! like you new one (old one nice though too)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie - I do find it hard to smile in one - it looks so artificial! So I didn't!

You captured the cozy quality of this room..

Lovely - red and green always works.

@granagringa The gas fire was welcome with the light it creates but there was no warmth. A table was placed right beside this fire!

A very inviting looking room. I like your new profile. You are really beautiful. Porridge sounds good, sweaters sound beyond hot with our 32C weather today but homemade it always good, morning tea sounds really delicious

@grammyn Thank you for your kind words, Katy! I look in the mirror and don't see beautiful but my camera and its capabilities can do wonders!

I like your new profile photo, but why are you looking so seriously...? ;-)
Your nearest café looks very inviting.
July 2nd, 2018  
@gijsje Actually it was because I was concentrating, Bep. But the one where I was smiling looked so artificial! I really need someone to smile at!

I’ve sure found it is getting hard to take a good photo of myself. Your editing is really interesting!

A cozy clean room with a fireplace. Fireplace always makes things better. Maggiemae...We are all so critical of ourselves when no one else is bothered! If we need a new photo every year, then my photo is 50 years behind...haha!

That frosted glass edit is cool...I like your photo and what I can make out of hair and color. Indeed the café is cozy and inviting :).

@gardenfolk Maybe instead of the latest photo we should go back one year, Ms CC!

Nice portrait of you. Ah - cheese rolls - a South Island specialty.
July 3rd, 2018  
@dide Delicious when the top and bottom bread is crusty and toasted and the cheese in the middle melts all over your fingers!

Looks like a cosy café with the open fire. Nice update of your profile photo too. If only it were so easy to iron out the lines on our faces.

Out for breakfast is always so festive in my mind.
July 3rd, 2018  
@francoise Not that many restaurants are open for breakfast here, Francoise but I admit a good breakfast can set you up for the day!

@onewing But they are called 'character lines'' for a reason, Babs!
July 3rd, 2018  
@maggiemae I must have a lot of character.
July 3rd, 2018  
such a lovely café ...I like the flower artwork on the wall
July 3rd, 2018  
really like your new profile pic maggie. and i read your profile piece - fantastic to be still going strong after seven years! and i know what you mean about 365 feeling like a community. so glad to have found this space :)
July 3rd, 2018  
@pistache Thank you Clare! I feel the community of 365 doesn't expect brilliant photos every day, just more of a diary. And its fun to keep up!
July 3rd, 2018  
@lynnz I'm glad you noticed that Lynn! They do have some great originals on the walls!
July 3rd, 2018  
a cozy place to drink morning coffee!
July 3rd, 2018  
And my flower is much better looking than me... have to congratulate you for posting the photo on the day taken for so long, massive achievement
July 3rd, 2018  
Don't hide behind a flower, Joanna! Your character and thought how you want to be viewed should be more important!
July 3rd, 2018  
I am trying to find out where you come in in this picture - still alludes me. Cool shot, though.
July 3rd, 2018  
New profile pic is a bit of fun!
July 3rd, 2018  
Csounds a good day & your new profile is original! I should change mine, it's been up too long but it's my favourite photo! Going for a new photo fit driving license & bus pass so if it's good I will use that one.
July 3rd, 2018

@sangwann On the extreme left of the picture is quite a wide entrance Dione. But there are two rooms with tables and chairs.
July 3rd, 2018  
Looks quite chic! Nice shot.
