some recent favorites

taken with nikon-fe2

finally hot summer has arrived in our land.
i was afraid that i could have summer this year because of cool spring and early summer, even though i'd hated summer.
but now, i have enough summer heat and i think my body and soul are enjoying that very much!
probably i won't say " i don't like summer." this year. ( i'm not sure next and following years... )

btw, i 'm enjoying taking pictures inside the house these days.
my favorite way to spend summer is being stuck inside the house and staring at brilliant light and sparkling greens outside.
i'm also enjoying mild bluish light that occupies in the room.
and for all pictures above, which i took with a film camera, they all got that bluish tone.
it may be partly because of the characteristic of the film i used ( lomography 100).
i think almost all of you have had the idea that the color of blue doesn't make food looks delicious, and have i.
but here, i don't think these pictures aren't bad very much, aren't they?
probably our eyes are eager for this tone under this hot weather :))

ok, i'll explain these pictures simplily.
clockwise from upper left, 

a: cubed watermelon which a friend of mine gave me. the jar right side has salt in it. in japan, it is a popular way to eat watermelon to sprinkle a pinch of salt over it. the saltiness makes it much sweeter. but watch out for your blood pressure ;)

b: red plums. usually i don't cut them, but bite them. keep them fully cold in a fridge, and just bite them. that's the pleasure of summer :)

c: i love this simple tomato and cream cheese bagel sandwich with this vivid light blue plate. especially in summer :)

d: my bagel had a big hole. that's not fun at all ;)

so, have fun summer experience with your favorite blues!
(today, no love letter. oh, but you remember? the plate in "b" has a love letter with its back :) )
