I Finally Found the Key...

...but I have no idea where the lock is!

I don't know, but lately that seems to be the story of my life!

I was planning to do one shot per week for Dixie's "Self Storage" challenge but I missed posting one on my self-appointed day, Saturday. So here's one of my favorite collections- an eclectic array of old keys salvaged from my grandmother's basement a long time ago and added to every once in a while when I find a random key. They were photographed against one of my favorite back drops- my kitchen sink!

That backdrop is perfect - looks like steel and it probably is! They are all brass ones - treasures really!

[bkb in the city]

Great idea for a shot

[summerfield]

oooooh! i would like to have a lot of keys like this! nice shot, ann, i love it!

[Hope D Jennings]

Such a cool grouping.I wonder about all the fords they have unlocked

[Taffy]

A wonderful grouping makes a lovely image.

[Bev]

Nice shot, Ann... silver and gold! i love the arrangement of the keys. they look so old. and well preserved, too. i wonder what they unlock. nice display.

[Tracey H-N]

Really nice. How very odd. The theme of keys has been coming up lately. This is the fourth time in 2 days......

[8yearson]

What a wonderful collection of old keys, I like how you have composed the shot too.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely arrangement of different keys. If only they could tell their story.

[Rick Schies]

That's kind of funny Ann. I too have a nice little collection of keys from my Grandparent's basement

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Yao RL]

No lock to be unlocked?

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! It's my stainless steel kitchen sink. I love using it for a back drop.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! And thanks for the fav! I knew you'd like them after seeing yours. (o:
@mzzhope Thanks Hope! I tried one with them just in a pile, but I liked putting them in a pattern better.
@taffy Thanks Taffy!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I have a feeling most of them unlocked doors of one type or another.
@traceyhn Thanks Tracey! I think they tend to be a very popular subject.
@jackie8 Thanks Jackie! I don't have a lot of places to do a set up here, but the kitchen sink is always a good bet!
@sangwann Thanks Dione! Those would probably be some very interesting stories.
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Lots of treasures in a grandparent's home, aren't there?
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@yaorenliu Thank you Yao! Once upon a time there was, but not anymore.

very cool

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@twr Thank you Timothy!

[Mace]

Lovely composition here! I, too, have a collection of keys in search of a lock. Yours are prettier, though. :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@mace508 Thank you Mace! It's a fun collection made special by the fact that they came from my grandmother's house.

[Dixie Goode]

These are like the guardians of secrets. Maybe of passages to Narnia or of pirates gold.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@pandorasecho Or maybe the portals to those wonderful worlds of fantasy! Thanks Dixie!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@gratefulness Thank you Sandi! And thank you so much for the fav!
