not just tea ...

... but a taste of spring tea ...

like this light and delicate shortbread cookie ... all it might need is a sprinkling of pink sugar




 and this perfectly blue sky with the buzzing sound of a small plane



and a chance meeting at the park with some parachutes



spring feels like it's just around the corner on a day like this!


how are you this fine tuesday?

  1. I love your post. Your simple elegance brightens my day as I struggle to write my needed proposal for Thursday. We shared the same blue crystal skies...and tonight we are almost in a full moon. Blessings to you over a cup of tea ...green tea with pomegranate plus a touch of fresh lemon. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

  3. How am I feeling? Not like spring, that's for sure. We won't feel like that till April sometime. But still love your little cookie - it looks good even without the pink sugar sprinkles.

  5. Amazing weather we have been having on the west coast . . . no winter this year, just a very cool summer, and yes we are on to Spring, or so it seems.
    Today? I'm off the local arts center, for a few hours, then back to the 'salt mines' i.e., studio, gotta get some work done. too many deadlines looming.
    enjoy your day! (beautiful photos!)

  6. You take the most incredible photos. I really want your camera. Would you tell me what kind you have? I love the spring inspired look you got from the plate.

    What a cute cookie. I like that tea pot design. Speaking of designs, I'm working on my AB class and trying to come up with a few designs of my own.

    Here is my tea post for this cold and wintery Tea Tuesday from the mid-west:

  8. I have that same cookie cutter!!! Haven't used it in ages (and probably SHOULD on Tuesday!) Your cookie photo is sublime (as is all of your photography!)

    I say pish posh on the ground hog and him predictin another 6 weeks of winter. As far as I am concerned, spring is HERE, as evidenced by your blue sky and fair weather. We are enjoying the same, most days, when it's not raining.

    Happy Tea Day to you. I am drinking tea today!

  15. It certainly does look like spring where you are! Green grass and everything!
    It was another busy Tuesday for me so I had to skip tea. :(

  16. I love the "surreal" shot of the family enthralled by the daring people that lift off from Kite Hill in their colorful para-gliders on a blustery, almost springlike day.
