Don't start me off on the coffee again! I'm trying to wean myself off the 100 cups I have a day...it's no good I'll have to nip off to Starbucks at lunchtime now. Meanwhile...this shot is just perfection...the candid picture, the soft focus and the shades of colours...I like it very much...heck I think I'll make it my shot of the day - and not just because you mention coffee in the title ;o) x

The mood you have created is perfection Lorraine! Soft and warm, it is everyone's father/grandfather enjoying a few minutes in the warm late fall sunshine. Bravo on this 5 star contribution! ;-)

What a dreamy picture, so soft, enchanting. I would love to be there, however I would interrupt his peaceful moment.

Do you think the coffee came from Tim Horton's? Love the colors and the contrast of the straight, strong tree trunk to the more frail and curved back of the old man.

Love how you processed this one chère amie. Coffee-time should always be this relaxing. Beautiful shot.

Good evening, Lorraine
again to wrap a brilliant host and a good idea all in a light mist frame. It almost looks like in a fairyland. Fortunately coffee drinkers. Dear greetings Christel

Wonderful image Lorraine - love the autumn colors & the soft focus is perfect for this shot... It has brightened up my day after driving for 3hrs to a meeting that lasted 7hrs then a 3hr drive home ... I could do with that mug of coffee myself ..

One of your best shots. There is mood and emotion, lovely colors of fall and softness. I like the seclusion and companion coffee. Very well done.

I just love the soft effect here. What an inviting image...makes me want to be right there having my morning coffee (or tea), under that tree. Lovely.
