"Imagining the Next Step"

As we ring out the end of another year and look out over the worthless paper scattered at our feet, what's next? I, for one, intend to celebrate with a fine meal, some good wine and an old song this New Year's Eve. Cheers to one and all.

Food is the weekly theme at Thursday Challenge this week. I hate to eat and run but, whatever's cooking in this little mini grill, ought to fill the bill. Bon appetit! :)

The weekly theme at Thursday Challenge this time out is food. I had just gone around with the camera a few days ago and got more than a few shots that could qualify here. What I particularly enjoyed about this one is the way the reflections in the glass turned out under the conditions at the time. Except for a bit of cropping, there is no manipulation used here...it came straight from the camera to this daily post. Funny, it looks just like the sort of shenanigans that I'm usually up to! :D

"Eye Candy"
montage by Mick Mather

I have to admit that I've been stumped for two days as regards the weekly theme, food, at Thursday Challenge. I had more than one image in the files that would've been a perfect fit, but each has already been used - this one and this one. I've started a number of other pieces and now have three more in various stages of completion. Since I wasn't at all happy with them I went on to do this image that was finished yesterday and set aside for a bit of reflection. I like it just fine and, given my bent for puns and visual double entendres, here you go!
