I’ve been doing quite a bit a baking the last few weeks,
an activity that I enjoy doing a lot.
I love the variety of goods one can bake,
one of my favorites is quick and oh so good
…scones!
: : :
A friend at church
gave me a sourdough starter a couple weeks ago,
and I’ve even made the starter into some of my scones,
just decreasing the cream and baking powder,
but adding a bit more sugar (to offset the slight sour ‘bite’)
and a teaspoon of baking soda.

Walnuts
are a go to choice for additions to my scones and quick breads.
Here,
I placed a couple of English Walnuts
upon a piece of velvet for a close up glamor shot.

Off to the asthma doctor all day today
and tomorrow
for a ‘rapid desensitization’
of allergy shots.

I like your designation of the walnut picture as a glamour shot. I think it’s well named. I like nuts wherever I find them! ;-)
You did indeed capture a glamour shot of the walnuts. Hope this trip to the allergy specialist will soon have you feeling well again.
I love walnuts, but always have issues with getting them out of the shell!
Hope the shots work. I really enjoy scones as do my boys.
This photo takes me back. My grandfather LOVED walnuts and always had some on the table next to his favorite chair in his later years, along with a nut pick to get every bit of meat out of the shell. Thanks for the memory. xox
Suddenly I’m craving something made with walnuts. ;)
Another great shot. Good idea to use the velvet. No reflections.
Hope the shots help.
Nothing like a good walnut.
I never knew walnuts were so beautiful. Wishing you better breathing – my daughter has asthma – it’s no fun. :( xo
Now this is a great food macro!!!
They look more beautiful in your photography!
I love walnuts straight from the tree and then cooked in a coffee and walnut cake. Great shot!
Love this close-up!
I have a sourdough starter my dad started some 50 years ago. I have never made scones with it. Those sound wonderful. The focus and light here is so good. Awesome capture.
