Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #8: Colorful
End of Summer Party!
Our weekly women’s group has the summer off, but we had fabulous summer breakfast gathering four times. I couldn’t go to the previous three events because I went to see my granddaughter once a month. I was glad to join the lovely ladies two Saturdays ago. The hostess did a marvelous job of decorating the tables with colorful table clothes, matching napkins and centerpieces. The vases for the centerpieces were made with fresh lemon peels (scooped out the pulp and juice).
The food was also colorful with quiche, mixed berries, slices of bacon, toast and other items I didn’t have on my plate. I had coffee and orange juice for the drink. We had a good time catching up with each others of our summer travels and news. Most of these friends have been together for more than thirty years!
In the courtyard, the hostess has a wooden bench. The back of the bench is a one-piece carving of a colorful fruit basket.
Nothing gives us a happier memory than having a photo taken with lovely smiles on these ladies in colorful fashion.
Happy End of Summer, my friend around the world!
Please visit Tina for this week’s photographers and their colorful posts.
