98/365 Pastel

“Los Pasteles” Accomplishing today’s prompt was a family affair.  I was whining about not having anything pastel to photograph.  I am definitely a bright colors kind of girl.  Weber, the sometimes Spanish teacher said, “Pastel means cake in Spanish.”  Brooke, the pastry chef said, “I can make cake.”  Me, the photographer said, “I can take pictures of cake.”  So here you have it – los pasteles with pastel strawberry, blueberry and matcha icing.

Brooke decided that she was going…

“Iris, Struttin’ Her Stuff” Most of the iris in the yard are either purple or white.  (See previous post.)  We noticed this one this afternoon amidst a few of the white ones.  I think the colors are magnificent and pretty unique.
