Photo Hunt #248: Special Decorations/Mellow

For Christmas as in other holidays, I don’t go overboard with decorating. I stick to the basic mellow decorations. I put up the tree, string some lights, and put out the simple manger scene.

The photos are from the past year/s. Still these are the same special decorations I put out every year.

I AM SO SORRY THAT THE NEW CHANGES TO FLICK’R MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHARE/POST PHOTOS HERE.

I WILL ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN.

Photo Hunt #247: Car Detail/Burst

The combination of themes today left me scratching my head. What a toughie it is. As far as I remember I only have two photos of cars (and detail perhaps). So I’ll show you both today.

The first one has whimsical details and bursts into an environmental friendly green color. Spotted at a street festival many years ago.

The next one is a classic car seen at California Museum of Oakland, with classic detailing and bursting in red. Please identify this car for those in the know.

Photo Hunt #246: Glass/Creativity

My apologies for missing out last week’s postings. The Thanksgiving Holidays happened and because of that I didn’t have time for blogging for a few days.

But I’m back today with the combination theme of glass and creativity. The stained glass windows on churches show tremendous creativity on the artist’s part, don’t you think?

Photo Hunt #245: Something Rusty/Over

IMG_4245

When I saw the theme for SOMETHING RUSTY I panicked a bit. I don’t particularly seek out rusty things to photograph, but then I remember that I photographed this rusty wheel or something on the rocky banks of Goat Rock Beach, I knew my search is OVER and that with this one image I was able to tackle the combined themes for today.

Photo Hunt #244: Favorite Fruit/Neat

My favorite fruit is the tomato. From the beefstake and heirloom to the grape and cherry varieties and everything else in between I love them all, although some more than others.

I think it’s pretty neat that the tomato lover has a lots of varieties to choose from.

Photo Hunt #241: Vehicle/Zip

Aboard a ferry from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen in Mexico, I spotted this vehicle zip up and down the water next to us.

When I learn how to swim (fingers crossed) I’d like to try driving a jet ski.

Photo Hunt #240: Close-up/Plant

Hah! Finally a combination of themes that I believe would be rather easy for players this week. I said so because many of us like photographing flowers/plants in macro setting isn’t it? I cannot wait to see what is being shown by fellow players this week.

Here are mine:

Photo Hunt #239: Shoot from hip/Global

I am just going to shoot from the hip here and say I believe that Italian cuisine has a more global appeal than Chinese cuisine….go ahead discuss 🙂

Some Italian dishes that I enjoyed in the past….

Home-made pasta with roasted veggies in olive oil.

This is my fave dish at a neighborhood Italian restaurant, their signature dish – capellacci de zucca or butternut squash ravioli

What about the linguine tutto mare or pasta with seafood.
