Sugar coated

Somebody had fun with the eating treats!

My brother Hank and his wife Cathy were in New Orleans Saturday. So after we picked them up from the airport we headed to our favorite place -- Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter for....... you guessed it, beignets. My sister, Sue, and husband, Bob, joined us along with our niece, Svara, who is pictured here. You can see the evidence that she enjoyed the powdered sugar coated treats.

Anyway it's Theme Day on City Daily Photos and always more that 140 different blogs have been participating. The theme for June 1 is "our local shop" -- this is mine. It's not a picture of the shop, just kind of capture of how much fun it is to go there.

Fantastic portrait, Steve!

What a GREAT photo! I had beignets at a little cafe featured after Cafe du Monde, and I'm hooked.

For theme day, I'm showing a bit of my former store (since it fits the bill) if you're interested. . .

That's a great take on the theme. As it happens, I've been lying on my blog the last few days - I've got my hands on an E520, but I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to hang on to it, I may have to give it back. The AF is streets ahead of the 510 (thank heavens). As it happens, I shoot RAW all the time (except with the 520, coz it isn't supported yet), so I don't care about the noise reduction, but I've had it switched off since my E500. I notice you're using Gimp, you may want to give Lightroom a whirl, I use it nearly all the time these days, and only resort to Photoshop for the more complicated stuff. Downside is, it costs :-(

Perhaps my most favorite "corner shop" ever! I miss the Cafe du Monde - especially the chicory coffee! Weird, I know, but I like it!

Steve, This is SWWEEEET! She really did enjoy herself, and your portrait of her sugar coated rapture is wonderful.

BTW, you were a day ahead of yourself, as the post is showing up for May 31. The date, combined with the portrait, may leave some folks thinking you missed theme day June 1.
