Practically Wordless Wednesday and Freshly Pressed

I’ve always been amazed at which of my posts are chosen for “Freshly Pressed” by the WordPress staff. It also amazes me that on the last two occasions that one of my blog posts has been chosen for this honour (it’s an honour to me, okay?) I was on the verge of considering quitting blogging. It also means a lot to me after the snub from a stock image site last week. I admit that my pics aren’t stock image-worthy, but I do appreciate that others do indeed rate them and get some joy from them. Yesterday’s “Photographing a beautiful old lady” was chosen, and several people stumbled on over expecting to see a studio shoot of a well-dressed dame. I don’t think they were disappointed as there is nothing revolting about a “Jag”. Thanks WordPress for picking it …

But on to WW. Last night I attended a Valentine meal with some friends at the home of other friends. These captionless pics were from the evening, as I wandered through their home capturing little details that caught my eye.

    I was just sitting here wondering whether ought to order prescription reading glasses becasue the ones I use seem to aggravate my astigmatism I lose focus and everything gets blurry, then I clicked on your WW :) It’s probably closest to the way things look for me normally than anything else I’ve seen. I like the table best crisp and clear and gives the appearance of a wordy valentine experience with good friends.

    your photos are fabulous. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. A famous New Zealand sports person was once told ‘it is only one mans opinion’ and I think that is so true here.

    I couldn’t help but smile at the guy on the right licking his lips whilst looking at that cake in the corner! A lovely set of pictures.

You may know me in the blogosphere as "madderinmada", "Rambling with a Cantankerous old mule" or "Vicissitudes of a Cantankerous old mule". But that's all changed and here I am living life from behind my camera lens.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy the visit.
