This last couple of weeks I’ve been on the hunt for Food Related pictures. I had hoped to track down a few more but these will have to do for now. Depending on how my diet and waistline goes for the next 4 weeks, I might do another round of Food Related pictures.


Danish

Escargot variety

Raspberry filled

Imbibement, my favourite A steaming hot cup (and pot) of tea!

Delicious

First time ever…where I’m not taking a picture for the main feature…(which was Calamari)…

…but rather has to turn it round for French Fries

More French Fries, with a little bit of Fish

Decadent, naturally it came with Frozen Goodness

Apple Pie

Egg Roll – Japanese Harumaki

Strawberry Shortcake

Ten Minutes from Home is where my parents live. On Wednesday night, the whole family gets together for Dinner!

Princess in Oz, You are killing me with the food!!

[tazdev3225]

Here are a few more

Italian sports car The car is in the showroom.

Team sport some of my DGD's swim team cheering

3 wheeled motorcycle caught this while stuck in traffic. I found it curious that the 2 wheels were in front, usually they are in the back

delicious Tiramisu

decadent for my DH this was. He's diabetic so this was a rare treat, peanut butter cup pie

 

[rmdavis]

more wonderful pics from everyone, PrincessinOz I love the food pics.

I have a couple more to put up, I have been hoping to try for this one and finally got a chance a couple nights ago.

Lightning

proof I need to get me a wide angle lens:

and my favorite of the night

 

[campinggal]

Great pics everybody! I'm hungry and have car envy now! Oh and the 'noughts and crosses' reference made me smile. I haven't heard 'Tic Tac Toe' called that in years!

A few more for me...

Rose

Windmill

Looking UP

A 2-fer...Insect and Something Yellow

Specs

Enjoy! Off to find some more...

 

[PrincessInOz]

Great shots everyone! Glad you're enjoying the food.....I know I did!

Nice to see you back posting on the hunt!

LOVE the lightning shots.

What did you do to set up? Aside from the needing a wide angle lens....what camera settings did you use....and how did you go about with the faraday cage or rubber suit hire...etc?

I am a newbie & I want to play (as do my kids).

Bird In Flight

Not thrilled with the picture but it's a start.

Engine

Our favorite steam train.

Fife and Drum

Sorry wasn't in the mood to go to the muster last weekend to get parade pictures.

Funny or misspelled sign

My kids saw this & were screaming "That's a funny sign."

My dh & I thought this was funny because it is a no fishing sign & people are fishing.

Insects

Ten minutes from home

That is the Connecticut River & Gillettes Castle is up in the trees on the left. Not a great picture. But that is the view 10 min from home.

Add your own x

Yep, steam train crossing.

Hope to have more pictures to add. Seriously my kids keep screaming "Mom there is something orange." "Mom what's (fill in the blank)." "Mom get that picture." Um..yeah sure, I am driving & can easily take a picture no problem.

Nostalgic

We rode the Lilly Belle after a full day walking around Disneyland and I was just happy to be able to sit for a little while, so I didn't get many pictures of it. Here are a couple of them.

Vacation Souvenirs

I had to add this one of the balloons too since the Golden Gate Bridge was scheduled to come down this past Sunday. I didn't know they were replacing it with a different bridge when we were there.

Zebra

This was the best I could do; he was too interested in eating to show his face!
