I noticed my kitchen faucet reflected on my wet counter and thought it fit the prompt well. Please notice and admire that I did not crop or photoshop out the flaws in my sink, the raggedy dishcloths, or the bit of rust underneath the breadbox to the right. That's the surprise -- I know how to use my camera and my software to make my world look prettier, neater, and cleaner than it is, and I use those tools often, but I resisted them here. This is my messy kitchen. Surprise!

the shape of surprise
It's time for another round of Picture Inspiration. This week's prompt was "The Shape of Surprise," or to take a photo of something interesting, perhaps a shape, in a reflection. Unlike in last week's prompt, this week we were asked to pay attention to the reflection itself -- whether the item being reflected is actually in the photo is not as important.

these are wonderful. I have not shot for this one yet.
I like your raggedy dishcloths and the flaws in your sink. Gives the shot character!
I'm so glad you have a blog! I will visit often! Love your images.
doing my Sunday morning catch-up and it seems you had a pretty busy week. congratulations on this Deirdre! I think your layout is lovely.
My goodness I'm not up with this blog stuff yet and didn't see your comments. Thank you so much! I have to get this figured out. I really don't see how to do flickr and blog at the same time -- one of them has to suffer.
beautiful shot ~ reminds me that everyday has magic in it :)
