Tea time...
200/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Silver":
"I always fear that creation will expire before teatime." (Sydney Smith)
My mom has been giving away family heirlooms for the last few years in preparation for her recent move to a retirement center. Last time I visited her, she sent me home with this antique silver tea service. It originally belonged to my first mother, who passed away when I was 6 weeks old. I don't do fancy entertaining, so I haven't used it yet. It's boxed in a closet, which bothers my mom. She keeps telling me to sell it if I'm not going to use it, but I can't let go of it. Won't she be glad to know it came out of the closet for a few minutes, even if it was only for a photo? I had to bring out something special to celebrate my 200th consecutive challenge. BTW, I don't know why all of you were polishing your silver today. I just shot wide open and focused on something else. Added a litlte vintage in post and you can't even tell it's bokeh tarnish, right? :)
I find it humorous that I went from down-home country in yesterday's shot to high tea in today's. Which one represents me better? Probably something in between! :)
