Apples in your cheeks

Here is the third in the progression. I really think I should be saying something profound with each image I do, but I am just not into artist statements. If the work does not hold up without extraneous words, then I am not sure it is valid (to me). Call me provincial, if you must.

Today's other part of the posting is a simple recipe for a facemask for normal skin. It is a bit sticky, but refreshing.

Gala Apple Mask
1 Apple, chopped (and cored)
2 Tablespoons Honey
Place the chopped apples into a blender or food processor and chop. Add the honey and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Pat the mixture onto your face with a light tapping motion, tapping until the honey feels tacky. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes (heck, look at more of my photos) and then rinse off.

Something More Traditional

So here we are, Monday all over again. I found this shirt and realized I had never thought much of it and was about to get rid of it, but then changed my mind. So, I played with it for a while and found several ways to use it as inspiration. Each night this week, I will reveal the results.

Also, I realized I have collected a lot of red recipes. So, I think today I will share a marinara sauce.

Rosso Marinara
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 dry white wine
Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and sauté garlic until golden but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, pepper, oregano, salt, sugar and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

The Skivvies from Vicki's

As I was shooting this morning, I was inspired again by a simple yoga practice. Basically, you sit Indian-style, on your sit-bones, and extend or elongate the back by placing your finger tips behind you on the floor and extending up by pushing on your fingertips.

So, while thinking about this and going back to the idea of making this blog a little more interesting, I have decided to include a great "butt" exercise.

How to Have a Great Bottom

1. Stand up straight with your arms at your sides.
2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your head up. There can be a slight arch in your lower back.
3. Slowly bend your knees while pushing your rear out as though you are about to sit down. Keep lowering yourself down until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Make sure your weight is on your ankles so your knees don't extend over your toes.
4. Tighten your thighs and buttocks for more of a challenge.
5. As you come back up to a standing position push down through your heels. Repeat 10 to 15 times.

A Little Zen, A Little T & A

What I have learned on eBay is that if you have suggestive terminology in your titles, people will look at the image.

An Object in the Sun

There are so many red objects out there. it seems a never ending challenge. This is a sun catcher I found in my travels and for a long time had no idea what to do with it. Then one day, while doing yoga, several poses came to me. This is one...

The Red Chair

Decided to try something a little different today. I really did not like the torn borders of the other prints, so I thought I would try this. So far, this may be my personal favorite image.
