Thursday’s Special: Utility

Utility will be always on the side of the beautiful things.

– Oscar Wilde

**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

Is it Thursday already?!? The days run away like wild horses over the hills, like Charles Bukowski put it. I’ll have to come up with something! Nice photo and good, old, jazz Paula 🙂

      Thank you, Jo. I am not the only one sick, so I have to cook and clean and bring tea which does not give me enough time to recover.

Hello Paula! I’ve been MIA for a bit, haven’t been feeling inspired. Glad to be joining Thursday’s Special again. Love your photo, the detail is great! Here’s my contribution on my recent trip to the “Unoriginal Starbucks.” I love the vibe and smells in coffee shops, plus they attract all different kinds of people!

What a wonderful image Paula! I hadn’t heard that quote of Wilde’s before. I like it! (sorry I haven’t been joining in on Thursday Special, but I always do Buffy’s Haiku Thursday and wasn’t sure that really works for your non-challenge)
