Day 210 - Still life on Masonite

I've long since learned not to second guess myself when I find myself snapping photographs of strange things I see as I wander through life. More often than not, a shot I took just for the heck of it turns out to be something I really like.

Such is the case with this image of an iron doodad (believe me, I've tried to figure out what this thing is called but I just can't think of it... an eyelet?) screwed into the siding at the back of our house. I like the shape of the doodad, its colour and its surroundings and I like the shadow it casts in the gentle morning sun.

Taken using the Olympus' automatic settings, this shot turned out to be a happy surprise for me.
