clearing my overcrowded cupboard, i fished a plastic bag from the back and found these cinnamon sticks and i thought "photo props!" indeed, they are. so bundled them up with a straw string and even propped up a couple of anise stars. so, i summoned my food-photographer wanna be self.
tomorrow, our church opens for in-person worship for the first time since march 2020. i think it's a trial run for when we eventually open up. we are scheduled also for Christmas eve. hopefully, that dreaded fifth wave doesn't happen. our province's new cases jumped from 591 on wednesday to 748 on thursday and 927 yesterday. today, we logged in 854 new cases.
for week 48 of the 52 captures challenge, the prompt is high key.
Very nice!
I was given some cinnamon sticks glued together with anise stars on top and a nice ribbon as a little Christmas present. It smelled really nice the first year. Now more then 10 years later I still have it! Once I put up the Christmas stuff, I should take a picture of it too!
(We do not put Christmas stuff out before December 5th though...)
A fabulous macro.very festive and an enviable high key.
Don't worry about the numbers, only importantly the numbers being admitted to hospjtal and of those the numbers who haven't been vaccinated. ( we're not being told those statistics either!! A state of fear ( fab book by Michael Crichton btw!) is being fostered. )
Enjoy church and meeting people for real, I hope it was a spiritual, and wonderful, experience.
Fabulous subject and POV for it! It makes a beautiful high key image.
Our church has been in person for months. I’m not sure about the numbers in my state but things seem to be settling down for the most part. I’m glad you get to go to church again. there is something special about not seeing it on TV.
Gorgeous food shot. Would make a great print to hang on a kitchen wall. (Too bad there's no wall in my kitchen.) Nice to be celebrating the Advent/Christmas season in church with the music and greenery making the sanctuary so lovely.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - i for one would like to know. it's in the news every night the case counts, how many of those are the vaxed and unvaxed. we worry about the rise in new cases, as those would lead to infecting others if not careful and then could lead to hospitalization. it's not propagating fear, i don't think. if the cases continue to rise, this pandemic would never be over.
