The Extraordinary Ordinary

"Not that it's difficult to photograph mundane things

but it's difficult to see them as significant.

The hard thing to do of course is to find a way to

photograph a mundane subject

or mundane event in a way that makes it exciting."

Brooks Jensen

I read this quote on a lovely photo blog that I follow: 

simplify.daily.life

And it really spoke to me!

I think all the photo prompts I've been introduced to through blogging

{and all the instagramming I've become addicted to}

have helped me to see the world around me,

and all it's little pieces,

NOT

as mundane...but as significant.

So for this week's Scavenger Hunt I thought I'd take a prompt a day

and find me a treasure!

On Mondays I usually go to the grocery store...not my favorite thing. But 'hunting' a photo made it more fun! How do I take an interesting picture of what's BELOW MY FEET? Well, this perspective made me happy (and showed off my newly painted toe nails.)

Tuesday was a nasty, rainy day. As I thought about CAPTURING MOTION I knew I had to catch a shot of all the falling water. When I got to work, the drain pipe was gushing ~ and voila! I had my shot!

I knew that Wednesday's word was TEXTURE and this is one of the first things I saw when I opened my eyes. I slept under this summer blanket at my grandmother's house when I was a girl. I'm so glad that I have it now to wake up to!

When it came to Thursday's challenge - FACE YOUR FEARS - I was stumped...until I found myself hesitant to send a blog post out into the blogosphere for fear it just wasn't worth anyone's time to read it! Not the prettiest of the photos...but {perhaps} the most significant to me, as I'm sure I'll face this fear many more times!

Well, we've made it to Friday...and I am CURRENTLY getting the food ready for our camping trip. Banana bread is in the oven, meat and veggies {for the kabobs} are chopped and marinating...and it's only 7:30am!

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!
