A big Thank You to Ritva for encouraging us to look for inspiration in the kitchen. Great fun! I have mostly chosen old and new utensils and kitchen herbs, but also good light in a kitchen is essential.
My grandmother’s old funnel is still in use…while her almond grinder is just there for memories. Flowers? I have flowers everywhere, and many in my kitchen windows as well. For inspiration! My favourite mug is from my daughter’s trip to Japan some years ago.
Finally…some sallad from my other kitchen in our summerhouse. A very old photo, but I loved that table cloth as well…
Thank you again, Ritva, this was a fun challenge with many possibilities! I look forward to seeing everyone’s kitchens, and coffee or tea cups. Remember to link to her post here and include the Lens-artists Tag so we can find you.
Thank you also to Patti for inspiration and encouragement to tell stories with our photography last week. I think we all agree that every photo has a story…to us.

Fab examples AC.
Love the cup and the salad. (very tempting)!
Wow! Great close up of utensils!
Thank you.
Thank youy very much Philo! Glad you liked them!
You are welcome, AC
No wonder you are a lens artist, Leya. I love your perspective on so many common objects.
Marsha, you are too kind – but I admit to having fun with this challenge when I had figured out what to do with it!
I hope it comes up again. My kitchen doesn’t work yet! 🙂

Beautiful, wonderful post. Love everything about it.
A beautiful gallery and it does look like you had great fun. Like the others, I love the abstract nature of the photos. And the yumminess of the salad a great memory for you to find.
I am pleased you liked it, Donna – great fun when I had figured out what to do with the challenge!
Love that mug! Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Beautiful, close-up look around your kitchen. Wonderful photography!
I am pleased you liked them, Dan – thank you!
Amazing how mysterious kitchen items can look in close up, Ann-Christine! The presentation of this is exceptional.
Haha, well, I am glad to have made some mystery!
Beautifully captured, AC! I love your Japanese mug, very special. The last image is my fave. 🙂
Ah, thank you, Amy! The mug is just great to drink from too. And the salad seems to be a favourite!
Great great selections. Good eye!
Thanks, John!
What marvelous close ups you took for this week 😀 😀 The veggie plate looks delicious 😀
Thank you, Cee! Great fun once I had figured out what to do with the challenge.
I love this closeup interpretation of the LAPC theme!
I am pleased to hear you liked it, Florin! Thank you.
Terrific macros. I really love that first bubble. Number 8 of 12 left me completely stumped.
Thank you so much, I.J. ! That bubble is in the oil bottle, and number 8 must be the end or beginning of the funnel.
I love the almost abstract nature of many of these images – truly inspired!
Happy to hear, Sarah! Many thanks!

Wonderful as always A-C. For me the flowers steal the show this week. The ethereal image of the glass bottle is perfection!
Thank you, Tina! I had great fun with the challenge once I had figured out what to do with it…
Lovely response, A C- great macros, lovely food items and am intrigued by Nerman!
Thank you, Sue! Nerman made this painting of his son, I believe, and it ended up on all packets of matches in Sweden – and it is still there after 87 years!
Or
Oh, right!
love the macros, they have style and simplicity to them, would work for next week also Ann-Christine. What a pretty mug, delicate design.
I am pleased you liked my take on – not being a kitchen person really. I do love that mug too.
I am not a kitchen person, but there some great topics there
Very arty, Christine. I enjoyed your photo selection immensely.
Thank you so much, Tracy! I really had to put on more than one thinking cap…I am not a kitchen person.
A thinking person can compensate for many things, Ann Christine. 🙂
Totally agree with the others. Great macros and imagination.
Thank you, Jude. I am not a kitchen person, so this was a bit of a struggle!
Trust you to nail this challenge with some great macros and still life images.
Margaret – I really didn’t know what to do at first…not a kitchen person. Great that you liked it!
Great scallions. Love your macro handles.
Glad you liked them, Marlene! Thanks.
I loved your macro photos. Beautiful!
Thank you – much appreciated!
*wicked grin* Well, if the topic leads one to contemplate on the issue of healthy salad vegetables . . . it’s all good, isn’t it? . . . That final tiny tomato salad has the camera angles arguing it out with with number of vegetables consumed for the day 🙂 !

Beautiful macros and photo choices Ann-Christine!
Thank you, Anne! It was a fun challenge.
I love your mug, Ann-Christine! Great drawings on it.
Skilled!
