Cafe Bebe’s Not So Still Life

Jun 2, 2010 by

The Gallery at Sticky FingersI’m suddenly feeling all photographer-like.  I blame Tara Cain’s “The Gallery” which sets us a new task every week to test our photo taking ability.  I’m the one in our family who takes the pictures but until this week, I never looked at OTHER things to see their value.  I take pictures of my daughter mostly.  She’s the lovely one I want to capture.  Oh, and of course my hubby.  Generally they are together.  My two favourite subjects.  But this week’s theme is:  STILL LIFE.  Hmmm…it got me thinking…really thinking.

So, yesterday, in the garden, I found a few items which I thought were worthy of a photograph.  Thanks to Picnik, I think they may have turned out better than the originals…I give you Cafe Bebe’s Not-So-Still Life.

Cafe Bebe Not So Still Life

We have a little pink & white windmill installed in our strawberry plant pot.  There was NO wind yesterday but I loved the colours.  After messing around a bit more, this is what I came up with.

Cafe Bebe Not So Still LifeThis was what was left behind in Little Miss’ sandbox…her footprint.

Cafe Bebe Not So Still LifeLittle Miss adores ice cream.  A sunny day, a 99 and a bib were all we needed!

Cafe Bebe Not So Still LifeLittle Miss’ “Crocs” with a wee bit of sand.  Such active shoes most of the time.  Here they are…still.

Thank you Tara…you may have brought out the photographer in me.  Now, maybe I need a funky new camera to go with it?
