This is for Kristybee, who shares my love of coffee and roses and who lifted my spirits the other day.

I just noticed I officially ended my week of red Starbucks cups yesterday. But while I was in the store looking for a permanent red Starbucks mug, I found this white one, normally $8.95, but for $1.00 more, it came with 1/2 pound of Christmas blend. So I bought myself a Christmas present :-). Yea for bargains!

Day 342-365 "Coffee and the Lost Glove"

Every coffee series needs the cliched "Starbucks cup on a bench,shallow dof" image, so here is mine ;-). Red bench had some holiday spirit with a few sprinkles of snow, and it had someones missing glove on it, too. Hope they find their glove or at least get a hot coffee of their own to warm their hands.

Snow in the air can give you a need to thaw out.

On my daily quest to shoot the Starbucks Christmas cup.

Day 336-365 "All Gone"

Day 336-365 "All Gone", originally uploaded by saralonde.

Decided on two things today's shot: A self-portrait, because I should have at least one or two somewhere in a 365 and a try at selective color.

About selective color: I'm not a fan except in a few rare instances. Think red coat in "Schindler's List", certainly not Starbucks coffee cups. But I've never found anything I really wanted to do it on, so I had to give it a try. So I did :-).

I think I'll make this a Starbucks coffee week...How many ways can I shoot a cup of coffee?
