From zero to zero - It's all in a bloggers day...

The day begins with a zero. Sometimes that's a good thing. Then, you can add to the day as you go. But, then again, zero can also be a flat line and the day drags by with meaningless activities of laundry, bill paying, drudgery of weeds begging to be pulled.

Oh now, just wait a minute... then again it can be filled with a lovely lunch at Wellspring  http://iamvitality.com/  in Woodburn. The best kept secret. You'd never know there was a restaurant in a medical complex. Vitality is the restaurant name. Sounds a little too healthy to be so delish. Fabulous food and fancy desserts.

Nothing fancy about the point and shoot tiny Canon I pulled out of my purse, poked the 'on' button and took the shot. 
   Can it ever be that quick and simple when photographing food? Even the         best of 'automatic' needs a little nudge to get a better shot.

My lunch partner had a tiny flashlight in her purse. (Purses are such wonderful things, they can produce all kinds of emergency stuff.)


Holding the tiny flashlight tricked the 'automatic'  to deepen the color.
   The final "shot" was enhanced by combining both photos, adding a window curtain and a picture of the Eiffel Tower. 

While we "ouud and auud" our way through this mouth watering dessert we talked about food around the world. Not only food, but flavors and customs of eating and enjoying the flavors. Paris was part of the conversation, so, of course, nothing would do but pretend we had a seat looking out the window toward the Eiffel Tower. Zero starts to your day can turn into a grand adventure.
