I have been trying to photograph birds for years and have yet to get a decent shot that I can think of. (Of course, I will blame my cheap point and shoot rather than the photographer. That works for me.)<br /><br />I thought your lunch sounded wonderful, and IMO food and drink just tastes better in pretty dishes and glasses. We don't have Aldi around here.

Too often they aren't as sharp and crisp as I'd like them to be, but oh well, I'll use them anyway! Who has time to fiddle with a tripod? I have one, but don't use it like I should. I even bought a mini-pod and it doesn't get used much either. I haven't been able to tell a big difference when I have used it. <br /><br />I love your pretty goblets. That is one thing I do enjoy using...pretty glassware.

Especially if you know the pattern and know you can buy replacements from Replacements. I am going to inherit so much crystal and china I plan to just go "good stuff" every day. They sure were not enjoyed much by their original owners; the dust on one set was so thick I thought it was all smoked glass!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-85028300955958572022014-01-24T12:36:39.421-05:002014-01-24T12:36:39.421-05:00Kim, this post brings a smile to me.

Your lunch looks yummy and so healthy. I shop at Aldi for some things and find the prices are great. <br />I have the same problem with bird photos. They never seem to turn our quite right. No worry, though, your photos are great, keep snapping away!<br />Enjoy our day!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833702357953341645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-31140166548230982242014-01-23T19:23:17.166-05:002014-01-23T19:23:17.166-05:00It does not matter what kind of day I have, whenev...It does not matter what kind of day I have, whenever I visit here, I leave feeling happier, and sometimes I even leave laughing. Today was one of those times. I could so relate to all you wrote and I can't tell you how thankful I am that you are still blogging. I don't care if your pictures are all perfect! After all, anyone who drinks water out of such a pretty goblet gets my vote:) The sandwich looks so good and I now, cannot wait to visit Aldi's again. There is one about 10 mins. from our home. Thanks for the reminder.<br />I like all bird pictures!<br />Thanks for adding a smile to my day, and a touch of beauty to it also.Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-43423979287625910662014-01-23T19:07:08.905-05:002014-01-23T19:07:08.905-05:00It's not so much about the photos as it is the...It's not so much about the photos as it is the content. I can so identify with this post. I take photos, then delete, delete. Your blue glass is so pretty. I think water tastes better from an attractive glass, and tea in a china cup. We have glorious sunshine today and temps in the 40s (I think - 10 degrees Celsius). So lovely and energizing.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-52566306752894220672014-01-23T18:46:31.850-05:002014-01-23T18:46:31.850-05:00I like the blue glassware!

It was a financial blessing at that time, and I've kept going there which is how I saved so much I became rich. Just kidding. But I do appreciate their prices and when someone compliments me on a dessert I usually enjoy telling them everything was purchased at ALDI. They have great dairy. I don't blog to often for the same reason as you. Maybe we're too picky!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-76718921841361572372014-01-23T18:25:13.282-05:002014-01-23T18:25:13.282-05:00There isn't an Aldi around here so no I don...There isn't an Aldi around here so no I don't shop there.<br />I like the flat bread crispy too.

I take a lot of photos through my windows and it's difficult to avoid glare, shadows, reflections and good old dirt. :-0 You got a good shot of the woodpecker. Your sandwich looks really delicious and healthy. I like your tablecloth and the blue stemware and think it's nice that you used the blue glassware for lunch. Why not!? I enjoyed seeing your green grass by the way. It looks so nice and warm there.

Usually I know when the light is just right and it's going to work, or the opposite. A lot of times after uploading lots of pics., it is then when I find that just right one that works. I'm also fussy about cups and glasses. It matters. Have a wonderful weekend.

I have wanted to visit an Aldi's but none near me I have to go to Jersey. As soon as the harsh weather calms down a bit. A friend tells me all foreign brands that they never heard of, that doesn't stop me! love your lunch. xoBarbara F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05650730931602700042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-66249537956443052042014-01-23T15:23:19.574-05:002014-01-23T15:23:19.574-05:00Oh we are such kindred spirits.

I'm kind of funny....I use a different one depending on what I'm drinking. I have a pink glass and I drink water out of it all day and then the glass with red flowers is for tea and the one with green is for lemonade. I never thought that was odd until I just wrote it! But aren't the old glasses beautiful? Your blue glass is exquisite!
