A Little Teaser ~ Sunday's Snapshot

Not such a bad shot considering I'm holding the camera with one hand!

This week's favorite photo from Project 365 is just a little teaser for the upcoming Cheesecake Cupcake recipe I'll be sharing with you soon.

My challenge for this photo: Holding steady! And keeping the egg yolk in place - it wanted desperately to slip right out of that measuring cup and into the creamy cheesecake batter below. Who could blame it?!

My lesson for this photo: Always be willing to play with all sorts of lighting. In this photo there is a combination of softer natural light coming through the kitchen window on the left side, while there is reflection of light from the overhead kitchen lamps. I have another shot without the overhead lights on, and the egg yolk looks kind of "flat". It didn't "pop" out as much.

Have a great week everyone!

Poppi and Peanut ~ Sunday's Snapshot

 It was Hubby's birthday this past week. As always we celebrated with "the kids", including our precious Peanut. She's not only a Daddy's girl, but she's become Poppi's girl, too. Grandfathers and granddaughters, it's a special bond.

The challenge for me taking this photo was not just about catching a laughter-filled moment, but light was at a premium. We were in a dimly-lit bowling alley! I had to open the aperture up as wide as possible and brace myself against a table to stay as steady as I could. A tripod! A tripod! My kingdom for a tripod! Certainly the picture could be sharper, but all in all, not too bad. I was so happy to catch this moment. Relieved actually. Happy birthday my dear Hubby!

Meyer Lemons Filled with Sunshine ~ Sunday's Snapshot

Kim, from Rustic Garden Bistro, sent boxes filled with sunshine out across the country. I was one of the very fortunate recipients of one of those boxes, which was filled with Meyer lemons from the tree in her own backyard. In the coming week I'll be sharing the recipes I made with those lemons. In the meantime, today I hope to share those lemons with you, too. Enjoy!
