Tools and basic seasonings by the stove top.

Cee’s challenge to take photos of “things in the kitchen” prompted me to snap these candid shots this morning.

The experimental connection comes from using my camera to investigate a place intimately familiar to me — filled with things I love — and present them simply as they are: without creating a special arrangement to “show them off.”

~ Good Morning! ~ In A Vase On Monday ~

P1080465

Today’s vase features Nandina berries that are beginning to turn from orange to red, with lace-leaf maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum) and Forsythia branches, and Korean feather grass (Calamagrostis brachytricha).

The vase is a lovely pottery one given to me by a dear niece.

Just past Remembrance Day and coming up to USA Thanksgiving – thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for getting me out to see what’s pretty out there!

~ I’m Outa Here! ~ WPC: Temporary ~

One day at the beach Jello came upon a rather deep hole some enterprising young people had dug.  She sniffed around the edges, then slipped down the side.

Clearly unhappy there, she instantly bounded out just as I snapped this photo!
