Fireside ...  by Weezilou

Fireside ...

On cool mornings & evenings, a fire is built in the dining hall of the school where our SIL teaches. I arrived near closing time, so I took a coveted seat nearby. I *had to have* some photos, so gathered both a bowl or oranges and apples for this image. Oranges won!

Later in the morning, standing outside cheering on our grandsons' Trike-a-Thon, it got positively warm (but Allie doesn't want me to talk about that...)
Love the bokeh! And the idea of a cozy fire at school. We had a fireplace in our old library but it didn't make the transition to our more recent construction.

What a lovely cozy shot! Do you carry a bowl of oranges with you everywhere you go - just in case? ;)

How beautiful! The glow of the fire compliments the comforting orange of the fruit. Nicely arranged, Louise.

Would be so wonderful to dine by a fire. My so went to a high school with a huge dining hall and three huge fireplaces.

Well there's the very definition of still life. Reflective light on the oranges, rule of thirds, soft bokeh background - so glad you used the big gun on this shot. Another fav!

@stray_shooter My humble appreciation, Ron...thank you! I confess, I'm LOVING this camera again! It 's weighty for a long trip, but I can count on it at times like this!
