Two small ones for me - I don't suppose I'll win.

SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH 'S'.

She sells sea shells at the sea shore in a souvenir shop! :) 8 's's!

How about these kitsch crabs in the same shop.

What a pity I didn't have my purse (porte-monnaie) with me! I would have bought one or two (j'aurais en acheté une ou deux). They're crazy.

5 FEATURED

I'm so proud at the end of this week:there are 4/5 redbubble groups featuring my photos at the same time and the person I admire most favourited one of mine. :)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Here is one I love today, I put it in the 'in between' group and the 'Miksang' group.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The title is 'It caught my eye'. It was really by chance, so it is a true Miksang photo - most of them are in fact, except the ones that are obviously made by me, like the egg on the plate ones.

IN BETWEEN

I was invited into a new group in redbubble
It's a bit philosophical and difficult to understand what they want, but my first photo has been accepted and featured, so.... I created another one to put on the present challenge:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
The challenge is "ZEBRA" "black and white stripes (rayures) is playing with contrast and disguise (déguisement) all at once en même temps) – integration of opposites... our challenge is to look in-between two conflicting alternatives, protective camouflage and identifying uniqueness."
Does that mean you have to have something zebra with black and white stripes or something with camouflage?
My photo was accepted so...

THE PLATE AND CIRCLES

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A round plate, a round dish, a round pie - what's in it?
Did I cook it or buy it?
Did I eat it hot or cold? Was it delicious?
Of course it was, because I made it, with cooked fish and mushrooms (champignons) in white sauce, with flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) on the top. I ate it for dinner with a chicorée (endive) salad.

THE PLATE 3

REMEMBER? I took another photo today: Now I have a series of three.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I like the simplicity of these photos, I like the repetition of circles on the plate and its colour not exactly white.

Here's another plate, but full of delicious food this time.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This was my plate in our favourite Portuguese restaurant in Paris. It is octopus and prawns (crevettes) grilled on the barbecue with red and green peppers (poivrons), potatoes, onions and black olives. Deliciously perfumed olive oil was poured (versé) over it just before it came to my table, the smell was unbelievable (incroyable). As you can imagine, I enjoyed it. We had a bottle of sparkling (pétillant) Vinot Verdi to accompany it - all Portugal in a glass. I'll definitely go again.

A RED WALL

I've been photgraphing my supermarkets again :)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Fantastic, this one, love it!

This time I went inside and found something graphic to photograph.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It's an attractive plate but I can't imagine eating my toast or a piece of tart in it. I didn't buy it, just took a photo.
