A couple of days ago I watched my neighbor Dominique put together two pies. One a wild blackberry and the other a wild blackberry and peach.
Dominique is a master chef pie maker who used to sell her goods at Farmer’s markets, but has since retired from that.
I was able to get this one picture of the two pies, not expecting to get a piece myself, but I did ask for one if there was any left after the birthday party she was taking them to which I wasn’t attending.
She picked the peaches from Tom’s yard and picked the wild blackberries in my yard.
A bit later in the day I went over to her kitchen to see how the pies were doing and found them in the oven baking away. They smelled great. I asked for a piece if there was any left after the party, not expecting any to be left over, as there were forty people at that birthday party.
So, today and the pie
So today, I could see Tom out in his yard getting his produce ready for the market so went on over there. To my surprise, they’d only taken the Blackberry pie to the party and Tom asked me if he wanted him to cut a piece of pie. SURE.
And, do you want some of this goop in the pie dish? SURE.
He put it in a dish with no fork and I headed back towards my place.
l didn’t get far before I had the urge to put the tip of my tongue in the goop.
Boy, yummy. Good thing I didn’t have a fork or I would of gobbled it down.
I made it back to my place where I got a fork and ate about a quarter of that pie, before I thought, I better hide the rest of it, so I put it in the fridge so I could nibble on it the rest of the day. I made it last as long as I could and the last bike was as good as the first bite.
Good job Dominique. I sure enjoyed that piece of pie. Yummy Good Stuff. Thanks
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
