Instantly, as soon as I noticed this challenge, I was inflamed with desire to share my 5 cents and see what other people would bring to the table (yes, I'm curious!). For several days my eyes intensely screened the space around me, but did not find enough minimalism to come up with... simply because my house is quite cluttered with a lot of old stuff :) my subconscious was running like an engine in neutral. Then I re-read the prompt, and realized I can look around much wider than my home and surroundings. That helped!
1
Decoration of my desktop. I am not into decorations too much, so my desk is free from any decorative excesses; it is decorated with a mouse pad (a large cloth in soothing black and blue tones with a dragon image) and this Japanese-style well-wishing cat.
2
Milk. I like to consume milk daily! In the city I obtain it in 1-liter plastic bottles, and very rarely (or nevr) buy milk in paper laminated packets (which are almost zero-recyclable, same as laminate-'sandwitched' paper coffee cups. Highly eco-unfriendly). Especially I like to obtain milk directly from producer, as you can see in the picture above; but it is only in the summer, in the countryside, I have such an opportunity. Highly recyclable and uber-minimalistic, isnt it?..

A kid's plasticine artwork I shoot a while ago. Done in quite minimalistic manner, with not so many details, it focuses on very few things I adore; I'd love my life to consist only from sea, sand, sunshine and swimming. (Of course I mean 'tropic sea', dont suggest me polar one - that is not talkable, simply out of the question!) So, this was a perfect capture of the life essence.
4
Raindrops. I like to stop and watch them, especially in the autumn and dying time, especially in winter, when I see all those blurry neon street lights behind the window (but of course, I would rather prefer to look at sand at any tropic beach, see #3).

Of course, I wanted to add to my blog Coffee! I prefer to drink black coffee without milk, but with sugar and pastry (and with spices)... that is not a rule, sometimes there happen exceptions, - I can have a latte, or ristretto without any sugar and spicy extras. This was the case without any cookies; just two cardamom beans were added to the coffee. Pretty minimalistic to my standards, hehe.
