This week I have been thinking hard on how to combine the two photo challenges – Green and water.
The first thought which came to my mind was photographing a green cup filled with water.
It didn’t turn out as well as I expected as it was hard to focus on water on a semi translucent cup. In the end I decided maybe it would be better to photograph one of my favourite drink Avocado milkshake. Unfortunately we didn’t visit that restaurant which sold the drink as we went to another one instead and ordered Iced tea instead.
Drinks we had at the cafe we stopped for tea .
Taken from the top with my HTC camera phone.
The slices of lemon which were “greenish” instead of yellow on a bed of melting ice.
Tiger girl helping herself to the soup we ordered. She is not “green” in a restaurant setting and knows how to fully self feed herself her now without spilling the soup.
Doggie boy in his favourite green striped shirt enjoying the chicken soup.
It was a relaxing afternoon having tea with the kids now that both of them are able to feed themselves.
I can enjoy my tea and cake in peace.
How had your afternoon been?

Well I would have to say that you took care of ‘green’ and ‘water’ very well… Could you have dropped some green food coloring in a glass of water? I love the pictures of your beautiful family!! These phones are getting really good with picture taking. Nice quality.

@Carla,
I did think about food colouring or even adding a drop of the kid’s green finger paint but didn’t have time to get around to doing it

They’re so cute! Thanks for joining us in the Leap Into Spring Photo Challenge. I’m so sorry for showing up late. I’m still recovering from surgery and playing catch-up. I hope you’ll understand. Have a great weekend!
