It’s Halloween week; how can I not go with something moody, with a bit of exterior atmosphere on the floor…

Change
Still Life
Night
Bridges
Flight
Flight – Non-Human
Moody/Atmospheric

Congrats, Strinka!

mmm

Lots of wonderful entries in this round, for sure. Looking forward to the next.

I’m honored! :grinning:

I’ll choose Food as the theme for November.

Oh my! I have so many it’ll be. Hard for me to pick one.

Does the food have to be cooked? I have a photo of farm produce still in the field.

I’m game for that. “Food” is pretty broad. Just no tofu, that’s feed, what you use to make food :slight_smile:

I know, right? I could make a hundred entries on this one! It will be hard to winnow it down to just one.

I don’t see why. Food is food. JMHO, of course. :slight_smile:

“Food & drink” or just “food”?

Good question.

@Strinka ?

mmm

Sure, whatever floats your boat. I’m not picky.

OOOOO – root beer float!

OOOOO – root beer float! ← I fixed it for you.

My friend who taught me about them likes them with Guinness, I prefer a shandy; it’s like lemon sherbet & perfect on a summer eve.

Ice cream and… beer? Hmmm, I’ve never tried it but that doesn’t sound very appetizing.

You wouldn’t think so, would you? It’s counterintuitive, beer not being noted for its sweetness.

But stouts are rich and creamy and a Guinness float is surprisingly tasty.

I love my Guinness, and I love ice cream more than any human should, but I cannot imagine that a Guinness float is a good idea.

I think I’d be angry at myself for wasting good Guinness and wasting good ice cream.

I don’t see myself trying it, but…never say never.

mmm

Maybe try dribbling a little Guinness over a dish of vanilla ice cream.
