Clean Dishes

Some days it is all about getting the chores done. I set my husband's drink cups on the counter for him to take to his little kitchen area tonight and I randomly lined them up in size order. Since I hadn't taken one picture yet for the day I decided to go with it.
so it was one of those "oh look, it's a picture moments!" like the way you got the background to be perfectly dark.

It looks like a cup version of the three bears- only there's four here! Mama, Daddy, brother and sister.

Sounds fascinating - to his little kitchen area? Chores don't go away unfortunately!

@francoise that is exactly what it was! I'm glad you like it Françoise thanks!
@linnypinny thanks , Lin. Really all I did was straighten them up a little bit!
@jayberg I don't believe that even for a second but it sure was nice to contemplate!
@olivetreeann lol! It does doesn't it?!
@maggiemae it used to be a wet bar in the room that he watches most of his TV. He has a coffee pot, a microwave, and the sink. In the morning he makes his coffee there and in the evenings he will fix himself a drink there. He keeps his supply of glasses and cups in the cupboard. He brings them upstairs for me to wash in the dishwasher and I set them on the counter for him to take that back downstairs when they're clean.

Great shot, Katy. I love it in B&W. Yes, the chores never end.

Nice simple capture. I was also intrigued by "his little kitchen area" so read comment to Maggiemae with interest :) Sounds like a good idea!

Love the lighting on the mugs and the composition!

@grammyn This sounds like a good arrangement! Everybody needs a space of their own! Mine is in a mossy old glass house with lots of spiders and drips in the ceiling!

@deb60 It seems like it doesn't it? thanks
@kwiksilver Thanks Gillian! It seems to work for him!
@dishaparekh176 I appreciate that Disha! Thanks for taking the time!
@maggiemae It works for us! Mine is an old bedroom converted into a computer/sewing room.

@grammyn Work always wins over fun right now and things that just need to get done. But right now I am off to eat a light lunch, have been packed to get to the park for at least a month now and going to get out and go. Hope to see Mindy and have some fun photos to post.

It looks like the Christmas cup has been a favorite for a year or two.

Very nice!

@tunia actually it was new this year! I don't know why it looks so worn.
@eudora you are too kind Diane! thanks for taking the time!

Hi Katy - I looked up the manual for the Powershot SX40 HS at https://www.lclark.edu/live/files/14568-canon-powershot-sx40-hs-manual and if that is your camera, you can attach external flashes exactly the same as my model - see page 180 of the manual - you have to slide the hot shoe cover off.

@ltodd somehow I just knew after I made that statement that you would find a way to tell me that my camera will WI LL take an external flash! Actually somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I already knew that too! 😜

:) I looked it up because my new little 90ex flash even fits on my canon G15 P&S. I think we would both be 250 years old before we learn half of what there is to learn about photography! That is what I find so stimulating about it as a hobby - there is always something different to learn about!
February 23rd, 2016  
@ltodd sometimes that's what I find so depressing about it! No matter how much you learn there's always so much more still to learn!😳

Nice line up!
