My wife had this accident occur while trying to make some hot chocolate. She yelled "why did I let this happen" and I yelled "wait - let me take a picture!".

I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back. I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
Please stop by and visit my daughter's photoblog - Views of a Girl Please visit my wife's blog - The Noble Wife
Your words made me smile. Yes.... I find myself taking photos of things that someone else would find strange. It's a wonderful mess!

@Laurie: Well, she did laugh at me a bit, but she is very encouraging with my photography "madness"!!!
You were right it did make an interesting photo. I like the green cup with pattern of chocolate. Nice DOF.

@Jrask: Thank you - most of the time when I see something I want to photograph I end up not having my camera!!
Hee hee . . yes, something the rest of the world tries to forget, we photographers preserve for all time! Like it.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thank you - I guess we have a disease....
Excellent! Almost looks like a controlled accident!!! Your wife should be proud. But, I'm guessing she is just upset! Anyhow, excellent job of documentation!!!

@Craiger: She put it in the microwave and it boiled over - very uncontrolled but she had to admit it looked neat...
Such a common household sight, it makes a pretty much universal-appeal picture.

@Hinah: You are very right - I have learned again and again that God can use even bad things for good - and sometimes accidents make for good pictures!!

@Double KK Photography: Thanks - I guess us photographers are a little "different"!
Oh, Chris ....... this is a great shot! I'm laughing out loud, not at your poor wife, but at your reaction. I'll have to post a photo of a frog ......... and you'll see why I'm laughing!!!
