Pauline of Gypsy Life and Memories are made of this has invited me to join in with this challenge. If you don’t know Pauline (Pommepal) then you are missing a treat. Living in Australia Pauline is always on the move with her lovely Jack by her side.
There are only two rules for this challenge:
- On 5 consecutive days, create a post using either a past or recent photo in B&W.
- Each day invite another blog friend to join in the fun.
Today I would like to nominate Carol of Which Way Now 101 to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.
Carol has been searching for her home for nine years and in doing so has travelled all over the United States. Now she is giving the UK her attention.
Most interesting, Jude – this almost looks mechanical in monochrome, rather than an insect. And I’m a big fan of negative space!!
I wasn’t sure this would work.! So thanks 🙂
🙂
An intriguing image, Jude. I also did a double take, like Sue. I’m not sure if I would rather share my shower with this creature, rather than the lizard who kept me company this morning. 😯
I was quite excited to see a water boatman, let alone manage to get a reasonable shot. Thought I’d try out a few different images for this challenge.
And I rather like lizards – little lizards…
I like lizards, but not so much in the shower with me. 😉
At least it wasn’t an alligator 😀
I suppose I must be thankful for small mercies. 😀
I’m with Sue on this one Jude. The blank space works so well, and the placing of the insect gives it an abstract feel. Top stuff!
Regards as always, Pete. x
Thanks Pete. This was a bit of a gamble.
My first thought was this is some kind of wacky airplane we’ve never been exposed to before. Crazy, right. So, it’s an insect. Much more interesting in Black and white, I think. 😀
Walks on water! I was so happy to see one 🙂
The things I don’t see and learn here. Thanks, Jude. ❤
This photo is remarkable , how did you do it? was it a very still and grey day?
It was a grey day, rain even, so the water was grey. I just altered the contrast to ‘bleach’ the water. I wondered if I ought to have had a ripple in it, but the ripple distracted from the insect.
It looks like a book cover to me, excellent!
Thanks for the nomination Jude. Let me have a browse of my photos and get back to you. 😊
No pressure Carol, but I thought it might distract you for a while 😀
Never played with b & w Jude. Need to see if I can get my head into it! Now looking at my photo file. ☺
Definitely different! I’m off to meet Carol 🙂
Figured I’d use the opportunity to post something different. 😀
Well I am glad it was you capturing the image Jude and not me. I might be happier with the lizard myself.
These are very small insects Sue. Don’t tell me that my dare devil Canuck is afraid of [whisper] spiders?
Definitely not afraid of the Canadian variety of spiders. As long as they don’t kill me I’m happy to pick them up. 🙂
No killers here either though I’m not hugely fond of the big fat garden spiders when they come indoors… ugh!
Wow, what a great shot!
Nice one Jude, different. At first glance, before I read the caption, I thought it was a huge mozzie. We are having a mozzie outbreak since Marcia roared through and now there is a Ross River Fever epidemic on the GC. Then I thought it may be one of those drones… Well done to capture such a small insect.
Ugh! Hate mozzies, they love me though. Hope you stay safe.
I smother myself in repellent before I go out into the garden each evening.
