Happy Tuesday! I took advantage of my day off yesterday to get some shooting in. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to! There was too much winter-dead stuff outside, so I stayed indoors and shot some still-life. I love using prop items that I’ve received as gifts because they remind me of the wonderful people in my life. I received the vase from my son and daughter-in-law in a gift basket with other items as a ‘thank you’ after their wedding. That was thoughtful of them! Although that day WAS all about them, they realized it took a lot of time and effort from everyone else, so their ‘thank you’ meant a lot! The doily was made from a dear friend of my Mother’s that I haven’t seen in years. She gave us this doily along with a few others for our wedding (SO many years ago!) It was good to think of her as I captured this shot.
Hope you all have a terrific day! Do or learn something NEW!
