On day 23 my husband and I were inspired by Jamie Oliver’s 30 Minute Meals and together we made a wonderful meal for the two of us. It consisted of a Wacky Summer Pasta, Arugula and Watercress Salad with Warm Pancetta and a Pear Meringue Tart.

Taking photos of bubbles is not an easy task. Leanne has a beautiful shot on her site and clearly she set it up very professionally. I, on the other hand, photographed the only bubbles in my house at the moment and they came from the kitchen sink.

Day 21 – Today’s Dinner

Today’s theme is What’s for Dinner? I didn’t see this prompt until just now but luckily we took photos of our dinner because it was pizza night at Chez Cormier and we like to share with our family. Unfortunately this year we’re only able to share from a distance with photos.

Day 18 – Inside Fun and Games

My husband is not much for board games but I might be able to entice him to play a game of scrabble. He is, however, keen to keep connecting with our kids and one way that we do that is with an App called House Party. We use it mainly to chat but there are games on the site such as trivia and drawing. Our four year old granddaughter particularly likes the drawing game.

Another game I’ve been playing with a friend is WordFeud. It’s a scrabble game that we play on our phones with each other.

Here are some screen shots of my inside games.

Day 17 – Still Life Photography

I thought I knew what ‘still life photography’ was but it seemed from Leanne’s post that there was more to it than just taking a photo of an object.

According to the Format team still life photography is as follows:

In a nutshell, a still life is a work of art that focuses on inanimate subjects. Usually, the subjects are commonplace objects. That can include both manmade objects (such as vases, items of clothing, and consumer products) and natural objects (like plants, food, rocks, and shells).

The major advantage offered by still life is the freedom to arrange the objects any way you want. Still life photography follows the same philosophy. A lot of emphasis is put on the arrangement of the items, the lighting, and the framing.

With that bit of information I’ve been on the hunt for interesting objects around the house to photograph.
