world photograph day - Coffee grounds

The grounds say watch out for black clouds coming from the west.
I do the same with my morning coffee grounds, Eva, but mine disappear immediately as they are cast onto mulch and thus they tell me nothing of any importance.
This is a fun photo for World Photography Day. Thank you.

Thank you so very much, Old Owl. Yes, mine go unto my plants that are living on my window sill too.
I hope the black clouds will dissolve before they reach me.

Nice story, Eva! I drink mine black as the soul :-))) and way too much!

I hope that the soul you are talking about isn´t yours! Ah, coffee is so delicious.

Looks a mother and child to me. Nice entry for the World Photography group

Similar to my interpretation!

A lovely interpratation, Thank you so much.

Thank you so much raingirl. I don´t see the child, but I do see two welcoming hands.

Colin, thank you so much!

Ich sehe ein bettelndes Kleinkind.

that relates to my interpretation (see below)

Oh je! Ich hoffe es bekam genug und muss nicht mehr betteln.

a seahorse....

Danke Markus. Wow!

Ein kleiner Mensch, der ratlos vor den grossen Problemen unserer Zeit steht

Ja, Klaus! Das sehe ich auch.

An interesting pattern and idea :-)

Gillian, thank you so much. I am taking photos of more of these daily coffee grounds and it is incredible how each one comes out so differently and is open to any interpretation.

A person bends down to pick up a small cat.

Yes!

love this thought!

Right Typo, I can see that too.

Thank you Marta for commenting!

The ultrasound, of an expectant mother

Yes! That was my first thought (I may be biased because my daughter is pregnant!).

That´s great! Is it a boy or a girl?

Raingirl , will that be your first grandchild? Everything going well?

It will be the first one! We're very excited.
And it's a boy. Pregnancy is going well for the little one - daughter is getting beaten around the bush a little bit, but she is doing okay and is figuring out that her body is now all about the wee one!

Great composition, Eva ! Very well chosen for this day !

Ulrich, thank you so very much.

It looks like a man picking up his child; an excellent capture!

Happy World Photography Day!

Valfal, thanks a lot! I really don´t see the child,- but that is the idea, that everyone does see what he wants to see.

ca donne une texture agréable comme de l'art en photographie bien joué

Merci beacoup. Je crois aussi. Et c'est un beau jouet.

Or how to predict the future using coffee grounds - for those who are able to do so;-))) After a quick overview I would say "Euro" (€)...

Christa, that is really the idea. I have every day another prediction and I can see what I want to see. So I wish you lots of Euros!!!

I see a genie that has been let out of the lamp. Just 3 wishes.

Great idea, Loose_Grip! What are your three wishes? I hope even more that your wishes will come true.

A wonderful subject and capture Eva I see a person with a cat, a great example of how every day objects can make wonderful photographic subjects it depends how you see them

Hi Peter, thank you! Yes, it all depends on your imagination, I even think if you are a positive person you see positive things in these abstractions.

Yes I see a face!

I see faces in nearly everything, tree trunks, clouds and so even coffee grounds., thanks Jan.

I'm fascinated how so many people have similar (and one exact!) interpretation as I do. So many with people involved, and of those mostly children or children with mothers. And a cat showing up also here and there for people.

My first thought was an ultrasound of a baby, but as I replied to Aschi "Freestone"
- I am probably biased as I've seen a couple ultrasounds recently because our daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild!

I love that even though you are not going out and about much you find things to photograph. It isn't uncommon in a photography class to have students photograph an everyday object, finding the art in that. You have done just that!

This photo also reminds me of snow and rocks. But I'm curious what drew you to this besides that you do it every morning. Is it that it is a big part of your daily routine, or is there something about the contrast of coffee grounds to white background? I notice that a lot of your photographs are not abstract, but your series of coffee grounds is wonderfully abstract. Are you finding a new interest in abstraction?

Happy (belated) World Photography Day!

Thanks for your lovely comment,raingirl.

I´ve always loved to take photos and now, not being able to go out and take photos of people (that´s what I always loved to do) I find "people" (mostly different kinds of faces) in nearly anything: in the play of light and shadow, in vegetables, roots, stones, rocks, dried out stems of plants and.... coffeegrounds.

I found out I could take good close-ups with my cell phone and as the coffee grounds change every day, there I have my daily challenge and fun.

I always took abstract photos,(and always found faces anywhere) but when Covid started I thought I would send happy people to Ipernity as long as Covid lasts. I hadn´t thought it would last so long.

I hope I answered your question. If not, just go on asking me.

Happy any and all Photography Day!

You did answer my question!

It is fun that our cell phones can do good close ups. Easier than having to have so many different lenses.

There's a name for the human tendency to find faces in things, can't remember off hand what that word is. It's nice that you are trying to do happy people! I think that our world becomes what we focus on, so hope and happiness are things I want to surround myself and the world in.

Speaking of taking photos of people, my daughter did a 'pregnancy announcement' - not something I ever did way back when - and she asked me to take the photos. Maybe I'll post one of them here on ipernity since she has made the announcement now. Definitely photos of happy people!
