Droplets on a table
Twice as wet
London, ON, April 2009
[Please click here to share your own double-themed Thematic]
I had spilled a tiny bit of water on our apparently waterproof tablecloth, and because I'm not like a normal person who would simply clean up the mess, I felt the need to instead reach for my camera and create a brief record of my clumsiness.
I don't know whether there's any significant - or even insignificant - message in this scene, and I'm not entirely sure there even needs to be. Sometimes, it's enough to be moved sufficiently by a transient scene to remember the simplicity of the moment. Because in the end all those little moments have to add up to something, right?
Your turn: Do they?

I'm glad it was water and not something stronger!
ReplyDeleteThat's really neat. It's a truly creative person that would ever think of doing that!
ReplyDeleteI got to get me one of those tablecloths!
ReplyDeletehey Carmi...I'm sure it's hard to not see things with your eyes...
ReplyDeleteI zoomed a little closer on the shot and you can really get the reflections out of the drops...nice
I'll see if I can muster something up
Peace, hp
Right ... it's amazing how they just hold themselves intact like magic! A wonderful spillage :o)
ReplyDeleteI love it when water droplets fall on less absorbent surfaces. Especially textured ones. It's beautiful how they magnify the texture. After all water droplets were the first magnifying glasses :)
ReplyDeletei also zoomed in and there's right old crazy stuff goin on around those drops
ReplyDeleteall very good
