Thanks to Tiffany (@ No Ordinary Homestead) I have decided to take part in the You Capture Thursdays hosted by Beth (@ I Should Be Folding Laundry). Rather than me explain it all to you, you can just check out how Beth came up with the idea and how to participate. In the meantime, this week's theme is "In The Kitchen", so below is what I see in my kitchen...
Peppers - waiting to be sliced, chopped, and frozen for pots of winter chili
Peter loves straws - though these have been sadly full of holes :-(
My pot filler - probably the coolest and least used item in my kitchen
It was interesting what I saw once I uploaded the pictures (like dust on some of the items that didn't make the blogging cut!). If you'd like to participate, be sure to link up to Beth's current You Capture post. I'm no professional photographer, which is proof positive that anyone can join in the fun! :-)
Gorgeous colors in that picture of the pepper! ...and that pot filler shot is really cool, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the capsicum. It's so weird seeing all these photos of capsicums, and reading people calling them peppers!
ReplyDeleteThe last photo looks really cool too.
I love that pepper! I have a couple of pepper plants that are suppose to turn yellow, but they just stay green.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean I had few other pictures but only the one made the cut onto the blog. Now I want a pot filler...
ReplyDeleteThere is such thing as a pot filler?!! Is it as magical as it sounds?!?
ReplyDeleteYour pot filler is awesome! Must remember that for my next kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're joining in and thanks for the shout out!
I think my favorite is your pot filler - what a cool shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by. Celiac is quite a challenge in a world full of wheat. Let me just say that the blog GingerLemonGirl has some of the best gluten free recipes. A great place to go when feeling overwhelmed. I go there a lot! Love the pot filler pic!
ReplyDeleteOld as I am, I have never heard of a pot filler!
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful, holey straws. :)
So glad you did participate. I love the unique angle of the straws-very artistic!
ReplyDeleteI'm no professional either but I love to play along! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWow, that pepper shot is great! I love the colors
ReplyDeleteI'm really drawn to the picture of the faucet hardware!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I made the bell jar lamp myself. here's a link in case you're interested in the tutorial.

Thank you for stopping by and your sweet comments.
Those are such FUN shots!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that faucet one. I too see some frightening things in my photos that I don't seem to notice in real life - like DUST and finger prints all over windows and piles laundry everywhere - yikes.
Thank goodness for CROPPING - HA!
I love the bellpepper shot, great captures!! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteLove your pepper shot! I didn't even think of cutting & freezing some for winter meals. I always just pay a ridiculous amount for them all winter long. Thanks for mentioning it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!!! Gotta ask - what type of camera do you have??
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!! And yesm we are die had Sox fans! Love 'em, even when they aren't at top shape! LOL
ReplyDeleteHello everyone and thanks for stopping by AND commenting!
ReplyDelete1) Yes, there is such a thing as a pot filler. I first saw one in a home magazine and knew that one day, I must have one above my stove. My husband told me that the wall was already in place, I could forget it. A year later when we were staring at studs, I looked at him and said, "Pot filler". :-) I found this one online for under $100 and a few days later it was sitting on my front porch. Romantic story. Love at first sight. Etc. Now, here's the ugly reality - I rarely use it. It's very cool and lots of people ask about it and then want one. BUT...although I can fill large pots with it (which I rarely need to do unless I'm cooking pasta - but now we're on the South Beach diet and that doesn't happen very often)...I still have to carry the full pot to the sink to dump it. End of story. It's delightful and I still love it, but...
2) Adena asked about the type of camera I use. It's nothing fancy, but I love it! My camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS that I purchased from Amazon almost three years ago. It has been all over the world and captured some great shots and I love it. I'm still learning how to use it actually. It's a HD (video), 12X IS zoom, and 8.1 mega pixels. I'm sure I could find something better now, but in the meantime, I'm sticking with my Kodak. It's my second one and I've been very pleased with both (great value).
I really like the pepper shot, but those straws are so fun! Love the canister...
ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing pot-filler envy right now. Wished I had one at home. Great work on the shot.
