Lifes Little Pleasures 09_18_05.jpg

A fine wine, good cheese and a nice fresh bread really are one of life's little pleasures. Really, everything we do is aimed at catching those fleeting perfect moments and those little pleasures.

As a photographer(and really not all that often successfully)I try to capture those moments and pleasure of life. Sometimes I get it right; but, a picture rarely can truly capture those things. The good thing is, so many of us continue to try.

With this photo I'm trying something a little out of my comfort zone again, still life. I tip my ol' worn cowboy hat to those that do this so much better than I.

Difficult to do, but you are off to a good start.

Your way to modest regarding your success Bill. I'd say you do an excellent job of capturing the vastness of these precious moments that bring pleasure to our lives. No matter whether the pictures are of family activities, or the beauty in nature that God has placed around us or the essence of a woman in your beautiful bride... yes you capture 'it' well. Thanks!

Jeanne, Cakebread is one of Wanda's and my favorites too. For those that haven't had the pleasure I highly recommend you buy a bottle and share it with some of your favorite people.
