Well taken, I like the use of light which really shows the contrast well. Sometimes monochrome photography is so much more dramatic than colour. I often prefer it.

Great post, video and some brilliant wildlife shots. Nature is wonderful.

Charming photos. Bees make such a good subject for photography, and add to that the myosotis blue of the flowers...you have a winning combination. Great post.

Educational post Rich, but people will be afraid to agree lest the anti-semite card be played....crazy that they get away with that as "semitic" actually describes those indigenous to the

Beautiful. Years ago I was lucky to befriend such a goose, we named her Lucy. She stayed with our flock of white geese. Such intelligent birds.

Oh my goodness, what wonderful amazing crafts. Where is this marvelous place? I think I would buy so many things. Great post.

Back at you. :)

Not so sure about the "human" part..but definitely not a bot. I too drift by off and on, but it's great to see you here when I do.

I had been mourning the loss of Adam for the last few months...hanging from that cliff by the tips of my fingers, wondering if he had been transported to some alternate universe! So glad to see him back

Charming photos. Wow, I am so looking forward to baby photos! CryptoNut will be one proud Daddy. 😀

My favourite monochrome contest.

Without that coffee....there's no need for make-up...not going anywhere! 😀

I really love the first three photos....all perfectly capture thar crisp cold feeling in the air. The composition somehow draws the eye to the sharp lines of the upright stumps. Great!

Beautiful blossoms. I just love orchids, they bring such joy to a room. I love rescuing plants that others give up on...the satisfaction of bringing them to their full glory is priceless.

Thank you. Glad you like it. 😀

Very disturbing information, but unsurprising. From what I understand, parts of many aborted foetuses and even stillborns have been sold to laboratories without the knowledge of the parent/s.

Thank you very much...it was a very stark and cold day.

What a great atmospheric opening photo. They just don't make beautiful stuff like this anymore. Modern art is so clinical and lifeless.

I now transfer my stuuff onto a hard drive, although not as often as I should. I didn't like windows 10 at all...it made my laptop sluggish and glitchy. So many people have said how it ruined their laptops.

I prefer the second one, it has an ethereal quality about it.
