Waiting Can be (Extra) Ordinary

Waiting Can be (Extra) Ordinary

October 16, 2015

—

The weekly photo challenge asked us to focus on the mundane, the every day things we may find beautiful. As I took these photos, a theme emerged: waiting.

My fall tealight candle holders are patiently waiting for a match to strike so that they may illuminate the fireplace mantle.

Conversely, as we continue the severe drought in California, my hose and sprinklers are waiting for when I can turn the faucet handle!

What ordinary or mundane things capture your attention?

Sorry it’s still so hot where you are.. I’ve been using my candles for a few weeks now, and it’s super chilly here now in Ontario! Word on the street is we’re expecting snow! 😦

Pretty photos! =)
