5 Random Friday Finds

Find No. 1


I found morning light and fog on the way to the gym.

Find No. 2


I found great satisfaction in completing my first 365 project. 365 days of "From Where I Stand". I also found that I thought I would be sad that it was done, but in reality I like the fact that I don't have to post everyday on Instagram...at least for now.

Find No. 3



I found that while it is a great honor to have not one but two three photos chosen to be highlighted in the photo site Flickr's photo gallery Explore, it certainly increases the pressure to turn out high quality work.

Find No. 4


I found this biscuit tin at the Outdoor Antique Market this past Sunday. I have to say I love this shot more than the two that made Explore. Okay, just kidding this one made it in as well as of Thursday night.

Find No. 5


I found Summer!

I especially like that last shot of the glass against the sky and that lovely sheen on the water.

Your photos have truly evolved into something amazing! My favorite: a tie between # 5 and the expired bloom in #3. Congratulations and I hope more of your work is highlighted.

Such lovely finds this week! Congrats on Explore, your images are well-deserving of some extra attention! Congrats on finishing your feet series. I ended mine on my birthday in June and was really glad it was over. I discovered I have boring shoes!!

Congrats on Explore, Sarah, all are lovely but my favorite is the one with the biscuit tin

I'm partial to the first shot - very mystical. I'm glad you found "the end" and the start of summer - I like those shots, too!

Beautiful find this week...once again...my favorite, the cookie tin with the hydrangea...just beautiful with lovely toning...
Congrats on Explore...I've made many times myself...but it does seem to go in cycles...like they loose you and then months later, find you again...LOL...always nice though to see your photo's there...
Have a great week Sarah.
