Goodness me , do you eat off the floor ,? :=) Just remind me not to come for dinner . ha ha . No butter on your bread and a cup of very week tea and some very sweet looking preserve . Bread looks nice though . Great shot Von . .:=)
Looks very yummy, I think it’s time for a mid-morning snack! I love the way you look at things, always finding interesting photographic opportunities in such simple, everyday things. Very artistic man Von!
mmmm I do hope this is apricot preserves? This looks so tempting Von. Been forever since I made fresh bread with apricot preserves. Nothing better on still warm bread! Throw in a dab of honey for the tea and Oh yeah that is PERFECTION! Love this! Im going to have to bake some bread now! lol
After all these comments I am sure you are a awere of the fact that this is a awesome and exceptionally beautiful photograph, all that is left for me to do is favourite this fantastic shot
This is the scene most mornings here at my house so I thought it needed to be shot for the archives. Homemade jam to be sure but the bread I get lazy with the baking sometimes and go for the store bought.
Von, darling … this one’s a delight!! I love the rich rough grain of the table … it really sets the creamy white of the china and the golden bread and marmalade off perfectly!! Another one of your masterpieces!!!!
I love the table !! it’s great looking breakfast, but I reckon any meal could be made to look fantastic on that surface! Again – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the humour of the comment thread – I think I’m gonna have to add you to my watch list
Hi Bettina, the table is about a hundred years old and I use it every day…love my table. Makes me happy that you want to join in the fun with me and my crazy friends…thanks for the add.
JRobin Whitley
Von, this is excellent! I’m not even feeling well this morning and this makes my mouth water! Great shot!

Oooooh, it’s bedtime here. That’s a wonderful breakfast and a lovely setting for one. One to be shared with a special companion.

Von McKnelly replied
It surprises me when I have to “think” of something to shoot when it’s all around me.
So what’s the mid morning snack??

Beautiful shot Von. Fresh baked bread? Homemade Jam? Love the rustic look of the table.
Von McKnelly replied
This is the scene most mornings here at my house so I thought it needed to be shot for the archives.
Homemade jam to be sure but the bread I get lazy with the baking sometimes and go for the store bought.
