'Champagne corks' by Teemu R

Champagne corks, originally uploaded by Teemu R.

I feel the need to celebrate a little as this is my 100th blog post! I have only been blogging since January but I am loving it. I love sharing some of the photos that I've taken that I am proud of and it's also great to sit of an evening looking at hundreds of other people's photos on Flickr. I really feel part of the blogging community too. I think that's what makes blogging so much fun. It's not just about writing your own posts but reading some wonderfully creative and well written blogs and 'meeting' some amazing people.

To accompany this post I had to have a champagne picture. Nothing like a lovely glass of champagne to celebrate with. I just love the simplicity and of this one. It's essentially just five corks on a table but everything about it is perfect and so well thought out. I love the bright, crispness of the photo and I can't believe how shiny the table must have been to be able to capture such an amazing reflection.

Anyway - cheers!! And here's to the next 100 posts!

Another one of my own photos tonight I think. Am posting this one because I would have loved it if someone else had taken it so am chuffed it's mine! I just like the simplicity of it and I think the sepia makes it even crisper even though the original colour is not far off this.

I would like to make a disclaimer though. This is not just an average week of drinking! I have collected corks for years. No idea why, I just liked them and it seemed a shame to throw them away. Now wine bottles are mainly screwed top I am really pleased I have all these corks for no other reason than I was able to take this photo. Perhaps I'll think of something else to do with them soon.
