Here are a few personal favorites:
A front hall littered with muddy wellies and cast-off clothing from a country walk...
Two tea towels hanging exhaustedly on an Aga after a vigorous Sunday washing up...
An impromptu dinner on a homemade blanket...
A jubilant pot of mussels in Brussels...
A friend who's not afraid to wear a tea cozy on her head...
Lovingly folded washcloths in a orphanage in Tibet...
An approaching train and the sudden exodus of pigeons overhead...
A hedge with well-rounded aspirations of grandeur...
My son's ever-expanding catalogue of monsters...

Great photos, Lisa! A good reminder to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and that the banality of everyday life is actually far from it. Cheers!! Love your blog.
Those everyday wonders......
...Happiness is the skill of reacting to the offerings of life by perception and by enjoyment.
It's achieved by both giving and receiving, reaping and bestowing. It's being able to feast on harmony as well as food, on ideas as well as bread. (Jim Rohn)
Thanks for sharing!! xx
Wonderful!
The train photo is fantastic and
your son's monsters would make
such beautiful embroideries.

I love this post. Beautiful photos. I must admit your "spontaneous moments of daily life" somehow seem slightly...glamorous.
(Your blog is wonderful. All day yesterday I was musing about Dickens and his emails.)
Magical post Lisa.
I love the washcloths...probably wouldn't get it if I didn't know where they were hanging, but since I do I find that to be an incredibly touching photo. I'm the hugest fan of mussels as well! This is my current favorite preparation...
I lurve that not-so-ordinary barley-leg table!
You are a terrific photographer (and observer). Are you trained? I would love to take pictures of my family and friends like this. What tools do you use?
