For Texture Tuesday with Kim Klassen. Featuring Kim’s “Urban” texture.
Tea is nought but this:
First you heat the water,
Then you make the tea.
Then you drink it properly.
That is all you need to know.

A wonderful choice!
how lovely! what a lovely shot, I am drinking lapsang souchong whilst I write this post!
Lovely–really communicates a love of quiet and tea
Thanks, Gracie!
Beautiful photo! I like the softness of it.
Thanks, “hand”! My nails are never as well polished as yours. And I always forget to wear bracelets!
Speaking as “the hand” in the image, no, there was no tripod. In fact, the whole thing was shot very unobtrusively. The tea didn’t even get cold! (And Sherry’s hands are much more photogenic, but she needed both for her camera! But thanks for the compliment.)
Many thanks, Pat.
I know what you mean. Sometimes there’s time for TT and sometimes there isn’t…but always rewarding when there is. Thanks for the visit.
No tripod, Denise. I never have one when I need one and always have one when I don’t ;-). I would have used the Lewis quote if there had been a book in the picture.
Awww, so nice of you to say, Ellen!
Thanks so much. I did have a chance to visit and really enjoyed your friend’s site. Learned more about tea and liked the rest too!
Sherry – I love this! Oh, that I would have nails that looked that good. Did you use a tripod for this? Nice work! (Pass me the java, though) Oh, and a great C. S. Lewis quote: There is nothing like a good book and a big cup of tea.
Hi Sherry…your photo is just so dreamy…love that curved text too… I have been so swamped with family matters here that i just have not had any time to participate in texture tuesdays….that has got to change!!
This picture caught my eye immediately at Kim Klassen’s Cafe. I absolutely love the picture and the serene quality. It is totally my cup of tea 🙂
Mornings are for coffee. Tea comes later….;-)
Yes, indeed.
Beautiful photo! I have to admit, I’m a coffee drinker here. I do love a cup of herbal tea on a cold winter evening.
A very special moment indeed.
Your photo is so inviting. I like the use of the texture, too. I’d love to sit down and have a cup with you!
My friend Anne has a blog about teas she and her husband drink, art, local weather. It’s a nice mix. Please visit if you have time. Her website: http://www.teaandgoodcompany.com/index.html ; her blog: http://www.teaandgoodcompany.com/blog-my-cup-of-tea.html .
Soft images are fun to work on, aren’t they? That 50 mm F1.4 is such a great lens.
Thanks for your sweet comments — and your arm! Couldn’t have done it without you!
This is lovely. I love the softness of it.
You’re photos and techniques are great, Sherry, but what really sets you apart is the ability to match them with the perfect (usually uncommon) quote! Keep it up. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Lovely image!
I’ll take it all ways! Thanks for stopping by…
We are big tea drinkers – mine is hot, hubby’s is iced.
Stopped by your blog today, Cathy. It’s wonderful!
This is so lovely!! Great processing! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Tea is the best, isn’t it? So many kinds to enjoy…
an expert, I’d say! Thanks, Viv.
You, as well, Carol. Thanks for stopping by…
