Wonder What to Eat?

Sweet Potato, Celery, and Apple Salad

This salad was super refreshing. The sesame seeds were a perfect addition. I love non salad salads. You know, salads with substance. Any favorites?

prosaic = commonplace or ordinary

A term coined by contemporary literary philosopher Gary Saul Morson to capture "a way of thinking about human events that focuses on the ordinary, messy, quotidian facts of daily life—in short, on the prosaic. Cloaked in their very ordinariness, the prosaic events that truly shape our lives—that truly are our lives—escape our notice." *

It may be that our most prosaic events, those with father and mother, are the least discernible and the most critical in shaping our lives.

I found this beautiful magazine called Seeing the Everyday. It inspired me to look a little more carefully at what ordinary shapes my life and my family.

Wonder Which Photo

Here is another experiment with post processing.

This is the SOOC shot.

Below are the photoshoped pics.

My favorite is the last. I used a PW action to capture a warm Fall feeling.

Which one do you like? Do you have any favorite post processing rituals? Would love to hear about them. I'd also like to thank the Shutter Sisters for choosing my photo for the daily click.
Happy Friday!
