While Steve does have a lot of shirts with stripes, they didn't actually inspire me in any way to take a photo of them. I did have a look and considered what I could do, but then remembered my trustworthy fairy had stripy socks and shirt. She has now featured in three of the daily photo prompts.
These were taken where she lives in the office; beside my computer and hanging from the handle of an overhead cupboard. She's lived there for two years now, with a short trip to the pool area for a photo shoot, and one down to the fruit trees for another shoot (spinning). She has had a bit of a rough time where she lives, and somewhere along the way she lost one of her wings, and also suffers from a broken shoulder and ankle. However, she's not about to go anywhere soon and is a lovely reminder of my sister-in-law. She had a selection hanging in her kitchen window when we visited a few years back, and I commented on how lovely they were. She very generously gave this one to me .
As is often the case, I have a couple that I like and haven't decided which one I prefer yet. I like the bokeh in the first shot and the focus on the socks with the rest of the fairy blurred, and I like the softness of the second one. A fresh look tomorrow and I'll decide then.
