Strange how a teapotCan represent at the same timeThe comforts of solitudeAnd the pleasures of company.

[A Zen haiku, translated by Gary Crounse in "Pathways; Restful Meditations."]

This picture is my entry for Week 5 of the Photo Scavenger Hunt. We needed a picture of a teapot, with bonus points if it was short and stout. I had a difficult time deciding which teapot to use, since I own at least eight (and that's not counting the Mrs. Tea!).
