The mundane is so everywhere.
Photos: “Table, Coffee, Notebook” above and “Orange, White and Darker” below by the author and linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with theme “A Clockwork’d Orange”. I also linked them to trablogger’s Mundane Monday Challenge.
I love how your posts combine such different images.

Thanks, Dale! The only thing tying them together is the color and the quest for that elusive “clockwork’d” quality.

The surprise: the notebook is the notebook of formes times!

Although it is the kind of notebook I still like to use it is an out-of-date technology given that I could be taking notes on my phone and synching them immediately in the cloud. Thank you, Danik!

I still use that kind of notebook too. As well as taking notes that I sync up into the cloud.

Both technologies have their advantages. The paper notebooks are easier to replace and they don’t need batteries, but they do need a pen with ink which I sometimes forget to bring along. Thank you!

Thank you, Charlie! I wish I had a photo of a clock somewhere in my archives.

You welcome frank. When I see the photo…I don’t know why I thought of a clock appearing. Maybe its what my mind sees or wonders if it’ll appear in an instant.

Personally, I love notebooks. I am perfectly capable of using the computer to write, but I love the relationship we have with pen and paper. It’s different.

Me, too! They also don’t need batteries, but they do need a pen that works. Thanks, Mary!

Love using pen and paper too. Funny, when I saw the word notebook, I thought the tech kind. How time changes.

There is some confusion with “notebook” today, but I still think of the old-fashioned kind that doesn’t need batteries when I use the word. Thank you!

What I like about your prompts is the inclusion of something that is easy to find a photo of with something that is impossible, like this current prompt: “orange” is easy, but “clockwork’d” not so much. That makes for a great prompt as I see it. Here are some suggestions having this contrast, but I think you are doing fine with what you come up with: “green unicorn”, “fairy glen” or “purple black hole”. One can fulfill easily only part of these prompts and then one hopes for the best with the rest.

Very good to know these prompts offer something of a challenge! I like all of your suggestions, so don’t be surprised to see one in an upcoming prompt. You’ll get the credit, of course.

I love that scarred table. More character, isn’t it?

It was a long table in a Starbucks on Wells and North (Chicago) and the table was made from recycled architectural timber. It had a lot of character going way back. Thank you!
