Ritva is our host this week, and common objects are in focus – making them shine. Please visit Ritvas amazing site with some brilliant inspiration!
I will start in Japan – with Shinkansen and
some ordinary umbrella stands. The Japanese can give anything mundane a fascinating glow, so, no credit to my photography…
Next gallery was made from my home, indoors photos. I have used close-ups, fisheye lens, high key pictures and B&W.
Let’s go out in the garden to enjoy the little things! Clothes pegs in the evening light as well as caught by the vine, the top of my empty watering can, a spider’s web against the greenery, a tomato plant, a tiny orchid in the dark…and a Solomon’s Seal.
Many thanks to Anne for her brilliant hosting of last week’s Shorelines challenge. The beautiful shorelines washed away all our troubles and wrinkled foreheads! I hope you will join us next week too, when Egídio will be our guide. Until then, take care and enjoy life!

I love your selection of home gallery items. The umbrella stands, though, is my favorite, Ann-Christine!
Mine too, thank you!
I really liked those umbrella stands, Ann-Christine. Unique and beautiful.
Thank you – yes, I loved them…and almost everything about Japan.
This is a beautiful collection of ‘common’ objects.
Thank you!
Wonderful collection of common objects and so many. I’m not sure I could come up with that variety, but then we are all drawn to different photography styles and subjects.
The twisting vines and curling leaf are certainly subjects I’m drawn to.
Thank you, Vicki, that curling leaf is one of my favourites ever.
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Amazing looks at the ordinary objects that make up our lives, Anne-Christine! They’re all so stunning but the most compelling to me is the orange clothespin. 🧡
Haha, yes, I love it too. Thank you!
Love the Japanese photos , and the clothes pegs. I have similar one, why didn’t I think of it. Maybe it’s because I use the dryer more these days. All choices are lovely, but those spoke to me the most
Thank you, Ritva, it was a really great challenge.
Lovely way of re-looking at common everyday objects but that tiny orchid is anything but common!
Thanks – but to me it is rather common and very tiny, easily overlooked in the late evening….
It is the easily overlooked things that are often the most interesting!
Beautifully captured Ann-Christine, I’m with Sarah, your home obviously has marvelous treasures at every turn. Why am I not the least bit surprised?!
♥
This is a great selection of objects, beautifully photographed. I especially liked the set taken in your home – together they conjure up such a peaceful and cosy atmosphere 🙂
Thank you, Sarah – I rather enjoyed using everything from home.
Nothing mundane about your photos , A c!
Thank you – Sue, I tried to reach you on the said time, but didn’t succeed!
Yes, I saw that….I hope we can link up this Sunday!
Inspired shots of the could-be-mundane.

Fantastic images! Thank you for sharing these. Kind regards…Jay😊
Thank you for a nice comment!
You are most welcome Leya😊
Wonderful macros A-C
♥
Wow! You showed us remarkable objects. The Japan photos are awesome. Then, you gave us that astounding macro of a light bulb. I never thought of attempting that. Finally, the series of macros in the end were also amazing. I loved the post!
Thank you, Egidio, you are always kind!
Well done Ann-Christine. Nice variety of photos and simple beauty in common objects.
♥
It’s all out there, isn’t it? Where you lead, I will follow, Ann-Christine. You may not remember that Carole King song.
Haha, thanks, Jo – and no, I don’t know that song! Had to google.

Amazing and creative Ann-Christine. Love the clothes pins. And the spider web also.
I was just using those pins when I realised they would be perfect for the challenge.
😊
Ann-Christine, it’s a great collection of wonderfully captured common objects. We love your display❣️
I am glad – thank you.
