Party Time

You just know this is going to be a good day!

Blemished

This doughnut seems to have picked up a bit of sprinkled frosting

from a neighbor.  It makes it even more perfect.

Bright bold colors against white, my favorite design scheme.

Some of the side sprinkles are sticking out at a rakish angle.

I can't explain it, but images like this always make me a bit happier.

Doughnuts Make the Day

I was feeling awful yesterday evening and this morning, but was

tempted out of bed when I saw Mark had hunted and gathered

a batch of Safeway doughnuts.

The delicate glazing is marvelous.

I'm saving this bad boy for last,

the slightly bittersweet chocolate frosting is amazing.

Doughnut Day

 To celebrate National Doughnut Day, we headed to our favorite

shop, which also donated 50% of sales to the Salvation Army.

 I may have a doughnut "problem," not only are they scrumptious,

I can't take my eyes off of them.

 I'm not the only one with this issue :).

Pink Doughnut

Ode to a pink doughnut...

Fire engine red sprinkles dancing off one side...

Luscious pink frosting melts with the first nibble.

A brief glow before it all disappears.

DayNight Donuts

 What can be better than a Sunday road trip

including a stop to Daynight Donuts?

 My favorites are frosting-filled, yep, creamy rich frosting.

Its even better tasting than it sounds.

 This is a mountain landscape I'm always happy to summit.

Or maybe ski down the side of this melt-in-the-mouth
coconut crumb.

Dreamy Doughnuts

There is something about a doughnut that makes each one

a mini work of art.

The startling contrast of bright sprinkle colors on white icing...

 ...and the mix of creamy, rough, and spongy textures.

 In my bathroom, I have a giant painting of a fish on a doughnut
floating in water. I don't know the story behind this piece, or
anything about the artist, but, wow, it makes an impression.

I can eat, stare at, and sketch doughnuts all day long.
