I posted the pictures with the muffins on my Facebook page. I made the muffins a couple of days ago and took the picture at that time. Today I was going to post the link to the blog where I discovered the recipe. And as I was about to post it, I hesitated because I was confused. I looked at the plates on the counter with the muffins (now down a few muffins) and I thought, “Huh? I didn’t transfer the mini-muffins to another plate. Why are they both on the same size plate?” I looked back at the picture. I looked back at the muffins and knew I didn’t move them from one plate to another. Perspective. They are not on the same size plates.
As I was walking up stairs to try to figure out what to post on my blog after posting the picture I thought, “Why don’t I post it? It sure is pertinent, especially now.” Not so much ABOUT it, ABOUT perspective because . . . . whew! I am just not up to that . . . I wouldn’t be able to settle on one thing right now. So I am just going to say that things (pretty much all things) can be seen from different perspectives. Especially right now, in these crazy days, we are seeing the opportunity to see things from a lot of different perspectives.
One of those plates holding the muffins a salad plate. And one is a dinner plate. It COULD be that the size of the muffins is contributing to the illusion that the plates are the same size. Not sure. I am not really sure about anything except that to me, from the perspective of the picture the plates look like they are the same size. So much so that it had me questioning what I had done.
I used black eyeliner to help define the edge of the salad plate, then placed it on top of the dinner plate. With them both being the same patterned glass it was difficult to see the difference in a picture. I think the eyeliner helped.
What do you think? Do the plates with the muffins on them look the same size?
