It was the first sunny day for ages here ... I certainly lingered wherever there was a spot of sun today ... your photo is gorgeous.

I think the happiest people in this world are the ones that see true beauty and appreciate the little things in life.

Sometimes it worth being late because you stopped to linger at a sunlit window.

My mantra! And it makes me think of the William Carlos Williams poem, the note to his wife about having eaten the plums in the icebox.

I must compliment you on your photography. It's always a joy to see your art. And I really mean ART.

simply gorgeous photograph, Mom.
I really like the way that the light and shadow both blend and sharply contrast.

joyce said...

I would love to sit in a sunny window seat and enjoy that sweet & juicy looking pear. How did you get the effect, I like it!

sherri said...

You must know I love this:-) What a perfect pear. It looks like a still life drawing. I've always wanted to be able to sketch things like that. Just can't get it from my head to my hand.

Pears, when perfectly ripe or tenderly dried are my favourite fruit. What a lovely portrayal!
