How to survive November 2023 – 2

What can I say, today the sunrise was at 7:49 and sunset 16:24. it is gray and with the wind factor the temperature feels like -1C / 30F. FIVE minutes less light today… but it is a bit brighter today.

Something good happened yesterday, someone referred to me as an artist 🙂 that made my day. Wanted to talk to me how to promote my art.

How about some vitamins and fruit for a snack?

It is here a again the most cruel month of the year. It is dark and getting darker, and the same time as it is the challenge to post something edible every day of the month of November, I can do it, how about you? What to join us? There is a link below if you’re interested

November and its time to survive it. Theme for the How to Survive November is ‘Something to Eat’.

Lepis from Parallel Lines| in scale kindly hosts this survival once again. The InLinkz is at her blog, it’s at the right column. Let’s enjoy this November with marvelous flavors!

Something I noticed #31

Photography, Still life

Something I noticed is back, odd shots of ranbom things.

Apple that has seen better days, I had in my office for the longest time and forgot about it. It looked like it would make a nice photo, even if in this state of decay, or because of it. I took it to the patio and took some shots

Green Apples, so crisp, and roundly shaped. This one is green.

Our favorite month, November! This year we’ll get rid of gray by painting the month in green. Lepis from Parallel lines has hosted this challenge for years, I have been part of it for several years too, feel free to join us 🙂

Green apples

Open your world to a green November and enjoy your creativity. How you do it is free as long as it’s green!

Captures from Finland, Flowers

Red apples in the apple tree was something I noticed first , I also spotted couple rotten ones.

Color play with fruits

Still life

These are such a contrast to the snow floating behind my window and this being the first day of spring. Today is the spring equinox, when day and night are about the same length all over the globe. As spring progresses, the days lengthen and the nights shorten in Finland and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere. The joy of this 🙂 is enormous!

I took more still life photos of fruits to pass the time

A Granny Smith and grapes and an Orange. Shadow and light. Color play.

Fruit

Still life

I was reminded that one should not to play with food 😀 , LOL, so I took the advice and instead I did arrangements with fruit.

Granny Smith and Golden Delicious plus Oranges. Shadow and light. Bright Colors

These are such a contrast to the snow floating behind my window. Enough of white already, it is lovely when it first arrives, this time of the year not so much.
