When I was going through the photos of my trip from Bryce Canyon to Coral Pink Sand Dunes I found a shot I forgot I had taken at the Rock Stop. It was of a shelf of votive candle holders; I just loved how they looked en masse.
So I had a look through my files and found some other instances when I filled my frame with multiples of the same object and here’s what I came up with. First, a burst of spring in Central Park with a drift of creamy tulips.
A mound of Rambutan at a market stall in Hawaii made me do a double-take, then reach for my camera.
A stack of ornate pocket mirrors sparkling on the streets of Little India in Jackson Heights, Queens.
And finally, if you ate enough of these, you would almost certainly develop multiple cavities.

Ailsa, Happy New Year! I thought you would enjoy knowing that this post is my 777th. Too bad it didn’t happen back at Mystical!

Hurray, Happy New Year to you too – 7 is my lucky number so I’m going to take that as an auspicious omen for the coming year! Multiple cookies are always welcome, but I do love those brightly coloured boats, so cheery!
Great theme, Ailsa! I’ve got some good ones coming =)
Happy New Year Jan!
Ditto! I’m going to make this one of the very best years of my life =)

Aww, what a good son you have, Gemma 🙂

These are glorious, Myra, especially that last one, and I adore the excerpt from Douglas Adams, I had forgotten all about it. xxx

Hi Ailsa. I especially loved those tulips and yes I’ve eaten enough M&Ms to have multiple cavities. 🙂 Enjoyed your theme photos so much that I ended up posting my own. Although my pics don’t necessarily fill up the frame but I still enjoyed posting them. Here’s the link:
Love it, muZer, a gorgeous series of multiples, those zebras are darling, and the Bellagio ceiling shots are fabulous. Where was the snowy photo taken, it looks like a beautiful spot? xxx
Sorry for the late response. The snowy photo is from Boreal in California, US.
Great post! Check out my latest on http://wp.me/pR7TH-25 I like to photograph my twins multiple shots in Australia of our trip Down Under..
Yaay, I was wondering who would be first to post about twins or triplets, very cute! Thanks for joining in this week’s travel theme, traveltwinpicks99 🙂
Check out my post on triplets, I love elephants.

Wonderful series, Christine, those prayer flags are so beautiful all in white, and the desserts look delicious, but I love those ladies all in a row on the bench in Barcelona. Their faces tell so many stories!
Pingback: A Line of Lions and other Congregations | The Wanderlust Gene
Is it because I adore white tulips that I keep coming back to have a look at your multiples? I’m sure it is, and to conjecture about white M&Ms – I’ve never seen white M&Ms – what’s the white flavour? Mint?
I love those tulips too, Wanderlust, their creamy white is just so delicious. Surprisingly, none of the M&Ms are flavoured – they’re all regular milk chocolate as far as I could tell, just with different coloured coatings. Now if they played around with the flavours, that would be a whole lot of fun. Have you ever tried the coconut M&Ms they sell in some stores? Love your post, the bottom three are my favourites, with the buddhas, tiles and the fabulous line of lions! 🙂
I have to admit to a total ignorance on the subject of M&Ms, Ailsa (!), but creamy white tulips and flamboyant mirrored mirrors, they’re right up my alley 🙂
Glad you liked our very own line of lions, Ailsa. They may not be a match for four thousand year old lines of sphinxes, but the lion is the symbol of Sri Lanka and I’ve always lied the symmetry
of these dear beasties surrounding the Independence monument.

Ooh, Shaanthz, those floral shots are wonderful, but my favourite are the umbrellas, such a bright burst of yellow, guaranteed to cheer me up! 🙂
The umbrellas sure are cheerful…thanks for the challenge Ailsa.
Because you can never have too much chocolate – please have a look at
Ooh, are those TJ’s brandy beans? Omnomnom!
Yes, quality control confirms that they are Brandy but this is embarrassing – I had to go back and look at the box because I tore off the plastic to get at the contents… Maitre Paul!
Haha, that is hysterical 🙂
