Let the sunshine in

Scenes from a cafe 1
As I type from my "igloo" :D, I think I am getting a wee bit tired of this, what weathermen are calling, "Arctic wave" that socked us in the last few days. These images from a tony, cozy cafe on one late winter afternoon, are my antidote to the chill outside.

My favorite pick-me-up: freshly brewed coffee with a touch of roast, a touch sweet and topped with dollops of whipped cream. Java-heaven!!!!!:)

Beautiful shots...terrific lighting. Goes to show you artistic photos aren't dependent on magnificent subjects! You're inspiring me...

a girl after my own heart....my favorite coffee shop (a little hut in KS called Baristas)..put whipped cream with a little chocolate covered coffee bean on top. If that doesn't get your heart pitter-pattering, I don't know what will.

Great shots that shout winter!

Hi Moi, it has been a while since I last visited and I have spent a while looking at the older posts of your travels and reaaly enjoying them.
Being from Africa I like the fact that we have a lot of sunshine and that Old Man Winter is a lot kinder to us.
Those scenes of the snow are beautiful, but a splash of colour would make it look more cheery.
That bride must have been freezing - what couples do for wedding photos :)

I love photograpy myself, and you are an inspiration! Your pictures came out so nice! It warmed me up just looking at them!

Jen said...

Ah, yes. Old man winter - it does take some getting used to. But the pristine white is something I don't get tired of myself. :)

And I, like you, also take solace in a good cup of coffee on a cold day!
