Week 21 of 2011 - Classic Still Life

Rules, rules, rules: these are generally described as the sort of still life scenes typically found in paintings up through the rise of impressionism. The scenes may be a found or arranged still life. Subjects should typically be the sort of items and scenes one would find prior to the modern era. Ie. no electronics etc. The scenes should be lit by natural light, candle light, or at least look natural in their lighting. That is to say not looking like it was shot in a light box sans background, not backlit, etc. etc. etc.

Wasn't really feeling this week's theme until the sun FINALLY came out and I noticed the lilacs were blooming.
