Fall in Black and White!!!!

It's so easy to see nature in all it's glorious colors........but try to see it in another form...
in Black and White!



at night!!!!

during the day.....

In the mellow patina of aging unprotected pine on an old shed. Nature taking it's course.

Unoccupied birdhouse and the last breath of flora before the winter takes it away.

The silhouette of the branches are more prominent when you are not distracted by it's usual fiery hues.




Sun on the trees and warmth on my hair

and on the fallen leaves in an old rusted birdbath.

Try to enjoy the last days of Fall til we get to the next season....
Winter.....
my favorite of all!
Have a great Sunday!

Absolutely Fabulous Carole
Your photography is just superb and now it is my turn to say... how on earth did you leave that one touch of orange in your B&W... clever girl.

Once again I have missed b&w [2 weeks now.. boo hoo] here I am still working Sunday night nearing 11pm.. that's my lame excuse!! haha

Have fun and thanks for sharing your glorious photos.. xx Julie

Carole!! These are some of your best shots ever!! So beautiful and thoughtful and your hair shot is fabulous and unexpected. Love it! Love the b+w with just hints of color and of course the shot up the tree is so dramatic with the strong shadows! The first shot of the lone oak leaf is very evocative and stunningly simple. Girl...you got it goin on today! Happy Sunday to you, my dear!

Carole, how do you do it? These photos are amazing! Your artistic eye is so sharp...you make the mundane...well, beautiful! I am thinking that you must see the divine in everything you encounter. I just love that!
Isn't the world around us just too beautiful for words?!
Loved your visit friend! I cry alot when I listen to music...my husband finds it amusing, I find it annoying. Anything that makes my mascara run is annoying.
Hugs,
June
