Easter! Time of Peace..as it should be..

In a time of this we should think of Peace..the good things in life ..to know when/how to choose between whats right and whats wrong...Than there is always a Devil on our path of life and as we know many fights..with many kinds of Devils.. big ones and small ones..

Here we are in Les Beaux de Provence..in France again. This nice Lady is my friend Glynis from
Cape Town(Kaapstad in Afrikaans and Dutch)

Glynis is the wife of James.. and if you have followed my photo series about the Provence .. she is the one who was absent on a previous photo ^!^

Before Glynis came to Europe to visit us .. at home she was on a strong diet..to feel and look better.. a human thing we all do now and than, right? Ok.. we not only showed them Holland but also we did fly to my Sister in the Provence and showed them around there..

Here is where Glynis did meet a little Devil in her head, after I offered all a huge icecream with
a big'whipped cream' on top.
She hasitated. What do YOU think she did ?!

Fighting Devils.. my Easter contribution from the Provence - Les Beaux de Provence with my first digital camera, the 3 million pixels Nikon Coolpix
880,it served me well for 2-3 years

Have a great time and thanks for popping in Folks
Kind regards and Peace!

He, je hebt geflitst; daar lees ik vaak over in de literatuur; flitsen buiten om het front op te lichten. Hier werkt het goed tegen die heldere achtergrond. Lekkere hap, maar Mephisto stond achter de camera ;)

Hi John,
Excellent candid portrait. Nice fill flash light for this, and the exposure is perfect. I know I could not resist, I have a big sweet tooth! Happy Easter!

Hi John,
I'm sure she has eat it. how can you resist a great ice cream like this one. Excellent composition with great colors.
Cheers.
Luc

Hi John,
I'd like to have an ice-cream :D Looks to tasty. Well done, John. TFS.
Cheers,
Mohammad

She looks a bit overwhelmed. I'm sure she was tempted at least. It is a very colourful ice cream. You must just leave it to melt than it is not fattening at all. The calories run out when it melts. You don't believe me?

Damn the devil :). Great candid shot John, excellent colours and great use of the light. Well composed and presented with your usual flair. TFS,
David
PS Many thanks for your comment on Passion
It is amazing what Google can do :)

LOL...LOL...
It's like watching Helen... lol... She wants to go on a diet, but she has her own Devils... lol...
Women, what can I say??
Lovely shot with great colours!
Very well done, my Dutch friend!

Well, I can't guess what Glynis did, but I know what I would have done....and no, I'm not telling, if that gives you a clue! :)

Cute, colorful and "tasty" photo, John.

Ah yes, the Devil in a sunday, how ironic! Temptation photographed very attractively. I know what I would have done, and it's what Glynis did.
Regards,
Lois

A lovely portrait of a lovely lady, John. Good light and frame. Well done. TFS.

PS: Thank you for visiting 'The big fire, 4', John.
PPS: We shall go to Les Beaux this year, or more precisely, to Mausanne-les-Alpilles to stay in a gîte. It is so gorgeous down there, isn't it? Hope to see a few more photos from there?

Two tempting subjects John, to bite in ..lol.
Good story to and I am sure she even licked the glass after she all ate it. Compliments, Groet

Both Glynis and the ice cream look fantastic. I think I would easily loose on this one. Colourful and well composed, along with the perfect capture of her expression "should I - but I really want to". TFS, Sam
