Sunday Delicious

Sunday delights

Sunday morning delicious for me is simple delights of  reading the Sunday strip, comic strip, for some laughs to go with a cup coffee, a homemade muffin and orange juice.  Then I’m off for a hike with my pooch.

Jakesprinter Sunday Post asked people to share in photographs what someone finds delicious or delightful.  My Sunday delights are comic strip satire, hot coffee, breakfast and a walk with my four-legged furry friend.

I thought I’d have some fun with this photo challenge and use the new WordPress gallery format.  I have pictures of fruit.  How can I make an orange look interesting?  For my photo essay on Sunday delights I used close-ups, different sorts of angles and composition, and long shots in the pictures.

For more Sunday delicious and delightful visit Jakesprinter Sunday Post.  My recipe for Harvest Muffins is included after the photos.  Here are just for fun photos:
