Real simple

I was at the grocery store standing in line the other day when I succumbed to the temptation of the abundant magazines. Real Simple was the magazine that I just had to have. Turns out it was a good buy and I enjoyed it quite a bit. But, the most enjoyable part of the magazine was all the photos. They had done many set up shots to accompany their articles. The photos were fun, colorful and engaging. Real Simple inspired me to set up a shot of my own. After a trip to Crate & Barrel for a green placemat, digging around for my old tea cups, and some tree flowers from outside I was on my way to a magazine-style photo. I find this one calming and it's been promoted to my desktop background.
