Photo Friday: Still Life

I think, had I had the creative urge this week, I could have come up with something great, I really like arranging and setting up photos. But I have NO energy, or thinking skills this week.
(Plus, our water softener went out, we ended up replacing it, and that meant I spent every spare minute straightening in the basement before the guy came)
Thank-goodness for archives, I was able to pull a few together, though I probably missed the whole "Still Life" meaning. Hey, when you have 3 Littles under 5 1/2, life is never still.

First Go HERE for an old picture/post that is no longer on my camera or computer. Dramatic Lighting: Check.

Christmas Cookies


I'm certain this is not technical Still Life, but I like it anyway
This either (its last falls apple saucing. Can I just tell you how much I love my Squeezo?)
More (and better) Still Life's here, and next week join us on our hunt for sky/clouds.
Now, I need to get cracking on bread for dinner, and laundry. 4 days not being able to wash clothes for fear of them turning orange has me waaayyy backed up.

I had trouble with still life too. I don't like "setting up" shots. However, I like the one of your cookie baking myself. It is definitely STILL, but shows lots of activity. I like the shapes in the dough, and the fact that it is from Christmas.

I really liked the dramatic lighting photo with the chair and light streaming onto the wall. That is so lovely.

yep-your archived one is a top notch still life. Great job! I am so glad we can now get from archives without feeling guilty about it. For three or four weeks now, Foto Friday has BARELY gotten done for me (tsk, tsk). And you said I have energy! HA! You are baking cookies!
