I took a break in my studies and grabbed the camera to venture out for a photo shoot. I intended to keep my eyes peeled for anything round! As I walked through the kitchen to grab a bottle of water to take with me, I glanced at the kitchen table, stopped in my tracks, studied it for a few minutes, then started shooting. Once again I find that there really is no need to go far afield to find settings or scenes that are photo worthy. This is my kitchen table; nothing fancy, no artificial lighting, no photo-shopping, just kitchen stuff on my kitchen table.
It occurs to me that this is an allegory for life. Too often we look “out there” for the most perfect, exciting, exotic, adventuresome life we can find while all the time the simple items that are “in here,” that sit on our internal table, are enough. In fact, the simpler is often the better. So today I will take time to contemplate my internal “kitchen table” and the items that rest therein. There is enough, and it is plenty.

good choice to stay inside …

Great point… All we need is as close as our breath.
Yes. For many of us a lesson to be learned oftentimes taking a life-time. Regardless of how long it takes one to figure that out, the journey to that conclusion is well worth the effort.
As always, thanks for stopping by and lingering long enough to comment. Much appreciated.

I can’t agree with you more. There is too much emphasis on complications when simpler things would work as well.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m all for keeping things simple!
Very nice choice for the ‘Round’ photo challenge! So true what you said, and all the others too in the comments..
Thank you. It was a fun challenge, as are they all! Thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great day.
