Let One Egg Reach Maturity

A reflection in the window, a silhouette, a table lamp, and a garden in the early morning was the setting that caught my eye, a reflective mood for my first photograph, a good start.

I had a boss, who in a moment of frustration, called me Dreamy Drawers, I was probably dead on my feet, today my knickers are in a knot, load shedding is about to begin at any minute and I’ve just switched the oven on, my Beloved is on his way home and nothing is cooking!  Hold thumbs.

Blue was the colour for today. It turns out the Morning Glory vine flowering in the garden was my other inspiration. Farmers hate them, and in Vietnam they’re revered; there, the plant is a valuable culinary ingredient used in delicious dishes. I attended a cooking class at the Morning Glory Cooking School.

Today we have Turkish coffee with Miné. I brought out my Vintage Turkish coffee cups in Royal Blue and Gold, served with purple Turkish figs.

The Brandwacht Mountain range should be photographed between 10h30 and 11h00, when the light is just right, especially as it improves during autumn and winter; today, clouds add a moody touch.

Fear is our biggest stumbling block, and self-portraiture can be intimidating.  I did mine in remembrance of Vietnam, Morning Glories, and Blue, deliberately making it slightly soft to ease the process.

My 11th Day of creativity was daunting but fun.

Sharing my 365-day project journey is daring but fun, and I hope it inspires you to explore your own creativity with confidence.
