| Flash on the Pan.... |
[May. 6th, 2008|09:38 am] |
No, I don't have that subject title wrong...
Every day, as I go about my morning chores, I take out one pan to heat my morning thimbleful (all I allow myself! caffeine! caffeine!) coffee, and I love the effect of the morning sunlight on it.
So yesterday I wasted some time capturing the effect...here it is on a towel:
Here, with the coffee in it:
and here, on the polished granite of the kitchen counter (there's the green of the plants in my kitchen window, reflected in the granite too:
There's so much beauty in the kitchen in the morning....I don't feel it's drudgery at all! If only Cinderella had an S3, I think she would not be moping amongst the cinders, but trying to catch the glow of the embers and seeing if a high ISO would help....of course then, like me, she would be behindhand with her work and her stepmother would have something to say about that... |

How's the finger coming along? Reading your account of the accident, I am amazed that you got away so lightly....
That is so pretty! I miss having light flowing into kitchen in the mornings like back home...In the apts here, no windows to kitchen.. :(
I have never lived in a kitchen without a window, and I might never like to. How do you ventilate your kitchen? Hood and extractor fan?
I have 2 lovely little windows and a wide-open door which leads into the utility area, too.
A lovely, airy, spacious kitchen...one of the many joys of my life.
No we do not have a choice in apts here. very rarely you find windows in kitchen and I mean VERY RARELY. :(
Hood and exhaust fan are the ventilators.
yeah my mom also has two windows above the stove top in her kitchen back home...I love her kitchen.

Not only that, you are not logged in when you have a nice LJ account!! :)
And I hadn't even seen this yet--just came here to comment on the battery post, and found this new one. It's just amazing, the sun rising around your pot!
My husband definitely thinks the sun rises and sets around coffee, so he will appreciate your image :-)

Would you call it a suns-pot, then? ;)

Very true, There is so much happiness & beauty in simple things that we fail to notice. Sitting on your front porch watching lightning in the distance, Seeing the sun break through a patch of clouds after endless days of rain, Finding something you made as a kid, People who make you smile just by thinking of them, The look on a child's face when she finally understands what you're teaching her. There are so many things yet so difficult to capture in a camera, wish everyone could stop for a moment and say " Life is beautiful"
