Oops, I just meant your photography skills quickly evolved in about your first 6 months of having a blog-your first few months of blogging until when this was posted, the photos improved significantly. Sounds like both that camera and lightroom are really the way to go with these kinds of photos...plus tons and tons of practice. Thanks!! Wow thanks for the immediate reply!

I have a Canon DSLR now, and I shoot on a tripod with a 35 mm prime lens. That helps a lot. I also edit my photos in Lightroom which really helps to take them from flat camera image back to real life. Thanks! Well this post is from way older than 6 months – nearly 3 years!

I am really curious how you improved your photography skills in less than 6 months. I'm assuming part of it is you got a new camera-though maybe not. I'm sure you've shared, but what was the first camera you started with, and at this point were you still using it, or did you purchase a new one/new lens?

That was an entertaining re-visit just now. I especially like The Muffin Tree ("for trees do not talk!") Since my blog has a muffin-y name itself, I may have to post this fountain of crumbly creativity myself soon.

I got accustomed to adding 2-4 tbsp of wheatberries to my oats, which made me reduce to 1/3 a cup. And pumpkin as well - they both make them too filling with 1/2 a cup. But sometimes I don't add those two and just stick to 1/3 a cup because I'm not as hungry as usual. It' just depends! Sometimes I do add 1/2 a cup! Kath Laura ,

I've always just gone by the recommended serving on the back of the packet, which I understand is around 150 calories. Is it to cut a few calories that you have less or do you just find it too filling? Hi Kath,
