Doorknobs and Details

I was speaking with a friend this morning - 

a friend who woke up with the winter blues.

She told me she had cranked the stereo and rocked out

{singing and dancing}

all the way to work.

She said, "It's the little things."

And it's true.

Sometimes when things feel hard, cold, dreary or blah

it helps to make that choice to focus on a bright spot.

To find comfort in a special cup of coffee,

escape with the pages of a good book

or dance and sing out loud to your favorite sound track.

For me,

getting behind the lens is something that always -

yes, I'll say it again - 

always reminds me that there's beauty in the little things.

It just takes a few minutes

and I'm transfixed, transported.

For those who visit 'little things' each week I know you know what I mean!

Last weekend, my time alone with the camera was extra fun.

At the beautiful Copley Plaza hotel

some of the doorknobs are have been around so long they're crooked.

Others have been added to modern locks.

It's fun to wander the halls and try to decide which details 

are one century old and which have been added along the way.
