I like it! Very creative!

@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi! I know some may think it is very philosophical- but for me, it's purely observation!
@sharritta Thanks Sharon!

A pretty collection of mugs! They look like they were handcrafted? Did you get them at an art show?
April 21st, 2012  
Brilliant caption! The picture becomes suddenly even better after reading it! Great concept as well
April 21st, 2012  
@woot Thanks Davide! The caption just seemed to be something that stated the obvious!
@deniseinindy Thank you Denise. Yes- all hand crafted but not by the same artisans. The top mug with the green handle came from Israel; the next to on the right were made by a potter in West Milford NJ in her home studio. I discovered her through a mailing she put out and for a few years bought myself a mug from her for Christmas. The bottom mug I bought on a trip in Colorado near Red Rocks; the brown one with the white dots was bought at a craft fair when my children were very little!! And the last mug was a gift from my daughter-in-law and is the one I always use for my chocolate strawberry tea because it's the perfect size and a lovely cobalt blue!

Nice shot and a great idea
April 21st, 2012  
wonderful shot. i have a gazillion mugs. they are not alike but they serve the same purpose. and i'm still stymied for a post for this prompt. no, a shot of my granny ankles are not in the offing! hahahaha! i'm sure i'll come up with something before the night is done.
April 21st, 2012

April 21st, 2012  
Wonderfully conceived and creative!

@elizabeth Thank you Elizabeth! I can see it appearing in one of your worship on Wednesday gatherings!
@annaluceya Thank you Anna!
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! Well it's an open-ended word which gives you a lot of freedom. I was also thinking I could make a collage of all kinds of handles, but went the easy route by setting up the mugs!
@sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry- I enjoy both as well.
@beachradish Thanks Beachradish!
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie!

Thank you all! It is a very concrete practical statement but it does go a bit deeper too. Thanks for the encouraging and enthusiastic responses!

So true and fascinating when you think about it.
April 22nd, 2012

@netkonnexion Thank you Netkonnexion! It's always fun to play around with this stuff to see wha arrangement you like best.
@twinsplusone Thanks Sharon! And believe it or not, I have more!
@karenann Thanks Karenann! I actually have three in cobalt blue, but this one is definitely the prettiest!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Yes, very true!
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian! I switched them around a few times and ended up liking this shot the best.

Thanks to all for your kind words- they were all different but alike!
April 22nd, 2012  
So true! I love the hand made wheel thrown pottery mugs! :)
April 22nd, 2012  
A chair is a chair is chair. It is a chair because we have an idea of what a chair is even if these are different
April 22nd, 2012  
Great shot! Love the colours and composition, and the interpretation of the challenge word too :)
April 22nd, 2012  
Cool capture and composition.
April 22nd, 2012  
@potsbypam Thanks Pam! We have some fun souvenir type ones too, but the hand crafted ones are my favorites.
@peterdegraaff You are funny Peter! But on the philosophical sense, yes this is true. Thanks for stopping by to give this shot a view!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia! Some days I'm just shooting what is handy and that was true of yesterday. Tougher challenge today with argyle. If one of the teens is not wearing it at church I'll be pulling out a sub word!
@sangwann Thanks Dione!

Thanks all! I appreciate your thoughts and words!
April 22nd, 2012  
Lovely capture of the colorful mugs and cool analogy.

Cool idea! Love the set up. Nice composition and display.
April 22nd, 2012  
@ulpiphotos Thank you Ulpi- I do enjoy my mugs and each one has a story to tell!
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen!
@steeler Thank you Howard!
@lisjam1 Thank you Lisa! I love my "artsy" mugs. I have a few of the souvenir kind, but these are the ones I treasure.
@prttblues Thanks Bev. I had thought about doing all kinds of handles, but then settled on just the mug handles.
April 22nd, 2012  
Nice~ I really like how you set this up!
April 22nd, 2012  
@sanera Thanks Samantha! I had a couple different layouts that I played with but when I looked at them in the computer, this was the hands-down best.
April 23rd, 2012  
Love the pov and the discription is perfect! FAV!
April 23rd, 2012  
@ellimae Thank you Ellen! And thank you so much for the fav too!!
April 23rd, 2012  
Great shot. We need ideas we need ideas for those rainy days.
April 23rd, 2012  
Two on the PP in one week ann!
April 23rd, 2012  
@tesssa Thank you Tessa! I started 365 in the winter months so there were a few days I couldn't go out. The good thing about that was it made me look around the house for interesting things to shoot. And now even the more common things can tickle my imagination if I let them. My slogan became, "Look and look again." In other words, look closely at anything and you will always see something unique about it that you can photograph.
@photodreamm Thank you Rachael! I am soooo blown away by that!!! It's an honor and very exciting!
April 23rd, 2012  
Wow. Great colours and angle.
April 24th, 2012  
@la_photographic Thanks Laura! I'm glad you like them!
April 24th, 2012  
Ah. a Mug Shot! Very clever, Ann!
April 26th, 2012  
@kloud haha Bonnie- hadn't thought of that lovely pun! This one surprised me too. Before the marble shot had left the PP this one appeared too. wow- two on the pp in less than 48 hours. Couldn't believe it!
April 26th, 2012  
This is fun! Love the earthy colors
April 28th, 2012  
@crickle1969 Thank you Chrystal- I love hand crafted pottery- especially my tea mugs!
April 28th, 2012  
Wow--neat shot, great comment!

@eudora Thanks Diane- I wasn't trying to be philosophical (although I knew people would take it that way!), I wanted a statement of the obvious with a hint of the philosophical- an idea pun if you could call it that!
