Black and White 5 Day Challenge: #4

isla (b&w) — Welcome to Isla – two weeks old (Stars and Dreams and Snuggles)

I don’t usually post family photos and don’t worry I won’t be making a habit of it, but I thought I’d use this challenge to introduce you to my latest grandchild, Isla, who now brings the score to Granddaughters: 4 Grandsons: 2

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 Beth Walsh to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.

Beth is a photographer living in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Her photography is mostly nature and wildlife, but occasionally she steps out of her comfort zone. I’d like to see what she can come up with for this challenge. If she has time.

Black and White 5 Day Challenge: #3

Something else I love to photograph are plants. Specifically flowers, but a strong structural plant will catch my eye too. I do have a separate blog for my floral passion, but today, the third day of the B&W challenge I shall post one here.

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.

Today I would like to nominate Sherri to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.

Sherri blogs from her summerhouse and is an excellent writer, especially in flash fiction. She does take a mean photograph too so I hope she will find the time to participate

Black and White 5 Day Challenge: #2

I love photographing windows. I like architectural character, I love shutters especially those with peeling paint and I like reflections – here you can just about make out some ornate wrought-iron railings of the opposite balcony.

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 Elizabeth Krall to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.

Elizabeth is an author, loves tall ship sailing, drinking cocktails, travel and is a great photographer. I think she’d be excellent with this challenge.

Black and White 5 Day Challenge: #1

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.

Bench series #8

For the month of February let’s see your benches processed in Black and White

claremont — Claremont Landscape Garden – Surrey

Tips for B&W photography.

If you would like to join in with the Bench photo challenge then please take a look at my Bench Series page. No complicated rules, just a bench and a camera required 🙂

Create your own post and title it Bench Series: February
Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
Add the tag ‘bench series’ so everyone can find the benches easily in the WP Reader
Get your post in by the end of the month, as the new bench theme comes out on the first Sunday in March

My Picks of the Week:

Well there is always one who wants to break the rules (but then rules are always meant to be broken) – have a look at the gorgeous benches from Restlessjo in her tongue-in-cheek post.
Elizabeth takes us to Sydney Opera House with some lovely night shots.
Lumar1298 has some pretty benches and locations for us
Aletta has some long benches this week, but are they the longest benches?
Oddly shaped bench on Klara’s post this week
and Pauline has some odd character on one of her benches 🙂

This is the last week for Black and White images so if you have any please enter them before next Sunday as then I shall be looking for Wooden benches.
