bookclub meeting by maggiemae

bookclub meeting

Our theme this month was the Suffragists and we all brought along something to share. So interesting to read all the stories!

I just put this on the Black and it is quite impressive, thank you myself!

Three good things;
1. I was encouraged to be in one of my photographs this time - back row on left.
2. Wonderful afternoon tea with meringues, cream and strawberries and a 'leaf' of pure chocolate.
3. Didn't run out of fuel even if this location was 40 kilometres away- there and then back 40k but the fuel alarm was on!
This is such a delightful photo ...wonderful that you are in the pic! Your book club sounds quite fun!

A great composition and perfect in B&W!

@allie912 I think B&W evens out the complexions of people - some are reddish and some are pale! Thanks Allison!

Ooh a long way for this months meeting! A wonderful warm scene here of all you friends! I think I would like a book shop but they seem to have fizzled out here, I never hear of any to join. You look lovely as usual, I like the hair over one eye!

@alophoto Its interesting Amanda - no makeup, no high heels, no fancy hairdo's! But all are intelligent and interesting ladies!
November 2nd, 2018  
@brennieb I'm leaning on the Grand Piano - would rather be playing on it though!
November 2nd, 2018  
A lovely photo of you all great in B & W
November 2nd, 2018  
What a great book club group portrait. It works so well in black and white with that processing. And everyone is looking at the camera and smiling. Perfect.
November 2nd, 2018  
No wonder you enjoy book club with this happy bunch. This is a lovely photo of all of you. And no-one's pulling a funny face!
November 2nd, 2018  
@golftragic The lady in the middle seated is inclined to talk too much though and often interrupts people!
November 2nd, 2018  
@maggiemae Oh dear, one of those women!!!
November 2nd, 2018  
A great photo of happy faces! Nice to see you with your friends.
November 2nd, 2018  
@golftragic Drives me up the wall, Marnie but I don't want to set the cat among the pigeons!
November 2nd, 2018  
Wonderful group shot... I like it in B&W!
November 2nd, 2018  
A wonderful shot of this lovely group. I too am in a book club which is so much fun.
November 2nd, 2018  
A lovely capture. It's wonderful to meet like this.
November 2nd, 2018  
@kwind It seems to have a sharper focus when B&W - with people.
November 2nd, 2018  
@ludwigsdiana Glad its fun - got to be a good one and not too serious!
November 2nd, 2018  
Lovely photo. Looks good in B&W
November 2nd, 2018  
No wonder your book group is popular not only able to talk about books but delicious afternoon teas too.
November 2nd, 2018  
@onewing I have to admit - we all look forward to the afternoon tea - crispy bread rings with freshly cooked salmon, divine club sandwiches with the crusts cut off!
And the best cheeses from the area, just at the right temperature with pears, grapes, tiny crackers!
November 2nd, 2018  
That is a super portrait. I love the way it's arranged and you all look like characters!
November 2nd, 2018  
A lovely group photo - you all look as if you are frozen in time ( with a hint from the clock in the corner !! )
November 2nd, 2018  
Such a lovely shot and happy group. Works beautifully in b&w. Glad to see you in the group, too.
November 2nd, 2018  
It does look terrific on black. Sound like a great time too.
November 2nd, 2018  
A great group capture
November 2nd, 2018  
@beryl I just had to include that clock - so beautiful even if it is 15 mins fast!
November 2nd, 2018  
Great group shot............love it in b&w!
November 2nd, 2018  
Great shot
November 2nd, 2018  
@maggiemae I totally get you. I'm not unfamiliar with the same scenario in one of my regular activities.
November 3rd, 2018  
This is a great shot of a group of friends... and you're looking good Maggiemae!
November 3rd, 2018  
@vignouse Thank you Richard - I sort of folded myself over so you didn't see my fat tummy!
November 3rd, 2018  
@maggiemae You're allowed a 'tummy bulge' once you pass 70... in fact, it's probably obligatory 😀😇
November 3rd, 2018  
@vignouse I have actually come to terms with that! Better to be fat and happy than thin, aged and weary!
November 4th, 2018  
From the looks of everyone I imagine there are some lively and interesting discussions- not only about books, but life in general. Excellent group shot and I'm glad they convinced you to be in it this time.
November 5th, 2018  
A fearsome bunch!
