“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?”
~ Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
sipping my tea outside, enjoying this first warm day in April.
The reflection and focus, Perfect! 😀😀
What a beautiful reflection in your tea cup! I loved the book “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” and I was very surprised by the ending which was so unexpected.
Excellent!
Beautiful photo and sentiment. 🙂
The reflection is so lovely and perfect…I’m going to try that this summer…the sun is finally out here but not warm enough yet for sitting out…enjoy your tea…it is definitely a ritual at my house…

Loved this when I saw it on FB. it’s even more impressive in this format. From one tea lover to another … Cheers!
Excellent, Susan! 🙂

This is such a beautiful reflection that could have easily gone unnoticed. I’m going to have to drink my tea outside more often! 🙂
Wow! That is a great picture, Susan!
How cool was that. Such a great reflection in your tea.
Susan, I think this is one of your very best. So ethereal.
Well captured! Spring in a teacup….
Wonderful!
What a clever idea (reflections in tea) such good concept for a picture, very creative. Art in tea!! 😀
Fabulous!
Oh my this is stunning! So beautiful.
A tree reflected in your tea, Susan??? As my dear friend would say, “Good Lord, Agnes.” How I love your photographic eye!!
This is so good! I love the reflection but also the little bokeh bubbles on the spoon!
Spectacular! And perfect choice of quote.
Oh I love this Susan 🙂 Both the image and the quote!
This is so beautiful! What a great image.
Susan, it’s been weeks since I’ve visited your blog (or any other blog for that matter) and am trying to catch up today. I am completely not surprised to visit today and see such an incredibly image. LOVE!
Hope all is well in your world!

A lovely photo. A quiet cup of tea can be quite meditative.
