effigy

joy, these are beautiful. quality. i like your sunrise reflection in the car window. and i love the little boy standing still with the ball...how all the other figures are moving around him. and the one titled "thankful", you caught something in her eyes. i could say something about each photo. good work.

she's havin a baby and man does she ever have that happy sparkle in her eyes...it's fun to see her at church b/c you can just tell..

Wow. Nicely done. All are good, many extraordinary. And, as they say in baseball, good eye.

Glad to see you are still alive. After that hiatus you took, I was wondering. My favorites of these are "Day," "Night," and "Protection." Good stuff.

if i had caught the angle better, "Day" and "Night" would've reflected the same trees. "Day" actually reflects pretty much the opposite of the big top photo's contents -- would've been cool, but ah well. the big top photo is another morning shot.

really, Really, REALLY like these, joy. =) agreed with das about the "good eye!"

what was under the chocolate in the star?

enjoyed the pix very much! thanks!

i think it was a sort of custard. with a layer of gelatin too. like tapioca minus the balls. and a raspberry sauce of some kind.

no raisins -- fortunately for the raisins. ['it's a shame about raisins.']

actually, i was wondering if that star was just solid chocolate or what. at first i thought it mihgt be a preztel or something, but then after i posted i thought, "duh, it was probably just plain chocolate silly!" the wording of my question was really bad though, i know. very unclear.

that underneath part sounds yummy though.

yes, it's a solid-but-spindly/decorative star formed of dribbled/hardened chocolate. it was just leaning up against the custard tower-of-sorts. yes.
