Picture d'jour

As I mentioned in my previous post, I intend to post picture(s) each day of something that has given me great inspiration or illustrates great beauty.  I HOPE to give a background description that includes time of day (to hopefully understand lighting concepts), lens used, shutter speed, etc. 

The weather in my area has been extremely cold for this time of the season.  So, I thought a nice photo of my backyard showing frozen ponds and frost covering the ground would be beautiful. Unfortunately, I couldn't withstand the cold weather long enough to get a decent shot before I felt like I was freezing to death. The cold weather left little to be inspired by.

However, my photos today are an amazingly delicious "low-fat Cranberry Orange Muffin" from Dunkin Donuts.  (*smile*).  Having run several errands all before 9am, I was starving and desparately needed something to fill my stomach.  As a huge fan of these muffins I can't believe I waited 20 minutes to eat it until I got home, just so I could take a picture of it!  I thought the sugar crystals beautifully accents the top of the muffin and would make a beautifully delicious photo. So, clearly today I was inspired by this muffin. Enjoy!
