I had this image on my mind yesterday so I had to buy some pears for the sake of shooting them. :) I am not a pear eater, as I prefer Fiji apple. I have to say that I am a little picky when it comes to fruit. But I swallow all type of vegetables. :)

Last Saturday I asked Miss J where we should go on Sunday and she reminded me that we should go to church tomorrow. LOL. Yes, it's been a whiiilllleee... :)

Processed with Kim Klassen textures and found out that this image was featured as "Daily Inspiration" on her blog. What an honor and makes me love Monday! WOOT!
