Coffee in Hand

Some people start their day with a cup of coffee (or two.) Some need it just to get started, and some make it a morning ritual, and then some do both. I drink the unleaded stuff so a caffeine fix is not needed, leaving me with the ritual. I very seldom drink brewed coffee but prefer the latte/cappuccino style espresso drinks. This tradition had been a part of my life for several years after my youngest daughter introduced them to me. I enjoy making then at home or going out to a local coffee shop. These local shops have a small community of followers and I happen to be part of it. Most of them are accustomed to my antics of grabbing my camera so I can take a photo of their cup or their hands or muffin or their book or their …….

    Either this is a small expresso cup or this person has huge hands. 😉

    Monte, as I’ve said before, I enjoy these everyday shots and applaud your originality in seeing the potential and capturing them.

      Thanks, for the compliment Earl. That seems to be my focus, the close proximity of the world around me. Yes, the cup is called a demitasse cup and holds up to 2 espresso shots and he does have large hands.

    I agree with Earl, very original.

    When I was a cop me and my partners drank coffee all the time. Then I noticed as I got older, the new kids coming on the job, drank soda in the morning to get their ZIP!!!

    I was going to make the same comment that Earl did. That cup seems absolutely dwarfed in his hand. I’m with you about the power drinks. If I drink two Diet Cokes, my teeth are chattering. Looking at the caffeine content of those so-called energy drinks sets my teeth to chattering just thinking about it.
