I have an inkling to photograph slices of fruit and veg which let the light shine through. My sister once took some wonderful photos of slices of kiwi fruit that she applied to the glass of the back door...the light through that green was amazing..but cleaning the wondow afterwards was a nuisance!picperfichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980797616161984187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-7920989668481610122007-03-06T23:49:00.000-05:002007-03-06T23:49:00.000-05:00Yes, we are like onions.

I have a pet hate when people put raw onions in all of their salads (cabage salad, potato salad, mixed lettuce and vegetable etc. etc.) LOL just one of my un-things.<BR/><BR/>On the photography thing, my husband just shakes his head when I head out of the door with my camera because I have spotted something in the field that one of the horses is up to, he knows I wont be straight back like I claim I will be. At the same time he will never admit it but he enjoys it because as soon as I come back I look through what I have shot process a few to 6x9s and e-mail them to him. He is bedbound at the moment with a pressure sore so he gets very depressed with months and months confined to bed. It is his way of seeing what is going on outside because my shots arent just limited to the horses, I shoot anything that catches my eye normally. I really think he is also understanding that these animals have personalities which is a way he has never looked at his horses before.<BR/><BR/>Good looking onion shot but I will give it a miss thanks LOL.<BR/><BR/>LoriLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-17769094950940297112007-03-06T18:11:00.000-05:002007-03-06T18:11:00.000-05:00Great post Carmi.

As an onion can be tart, if we were all sweet all the time, it would be boring lol..but as an onion has many layers of smell, and taste, depending how u treat it..so do we as humans. It makes us all unique and special just as every onion is.

We can all leave a bad taste in someones mouth. We all have different layers of personalities, moods, thoughts processes, and hair color. <BR/>Sometimes we need to have something added to make us 'more appealing'- and it doesnt have to be dressing tho some sort of dress sense would be helpful(clothes must be worn at all times). For some people we only need to add other people for the right combination of ingrediants. Some people need the right people to bring out the best in them.<BR/><BR/>Either way, if your an ogre or an onion, you dont need to leave a bad taste in other peoples mouths.
