A splash of cream please and two sugars. Thank you! reminds me irresistibly of a photo I did several years ago in the early days of Photoshop. Now I know I’ll just HAVE to dig it out and show you! LOL I warn you here and now though that it’s not a patch on this one of yours. Hugs, Peter
Lois Bryan replied
I don’t care!! I can’t wait to see it!! Your early days of Photoshop are probably exactly where I am right now … so noooo apologies needed!!!

I wish my mornings looked like this, lol…very warm and inviting atmosphere…beautifully composed.
Lois Bryan replied
loved your note!! Yes, I wish my mornings looked like this as well, lol!!! But what fun it was figuring out what I liked and didn’t like as I arranged and re arranged and scooted the table across the room, trying to maintain the light!!! For three mornings!!!

divine beauty …
such a lovely classy capture ♥
Lois Bryan replied
thanks soooo much … the shoots for the coffee took up three consecutive mornings, mornings of scooting the little table across the room, trying to keep the light, of arranging and re arranging … uploading, trying again, hilarious … but what a great learning experience!!! Glad you like one of the finished products!!

Okay, Lois. I’m up at 4:30am. Have the coffee ready, just like it looks here. I love this! I can actually taste it…mmmmm, great aroma, too.
:>) john
Lois Bryan replied
John, I could do it all (it’s Starbuck’s Colombian, I hope that’s okay?) except for the morning sunshine. I don’t think I could manage that part at 4:30 in the morning!!

Hey Lois
- you have some tricks up your sleeve – this is so elegant and I can almost smell the lilac -something from Victorian England I think- on my way to work and I can use another jolt of good coffee -daveLois Bryan replied
Thanks so much, Dave!!! It’s gooooood coffee, too!!! Starbuck’s Colombian!!! MMMMM!!!!
