FOR-Shapes . but doesn't it lack colour !
After four years succeeding in the love/hate challenges of the annual FOR -- this year it has defeated me ! It has been a daily struggle and my heart has not been in the challenge this year , so after my few days of feeble attempts and my yearning for colour , I shall bow out of the challenge and return to my love of colour !
Enjoy your weekend !

It's a lovely shot Bery, but I so understand you. I could never do a month of b/w, I just like colour too much 😊

[Shirley B]

I so agree Beryl..... I am missing your usual inspiring and colourful images of the garden, wild life and houseplants.

[Brennie B]

Yes. Jan grey enough. We all need colour.

[Lois]

This is a lovely b&w with all the shapes and shades!

[wendy frost]

A lovely capture Beryl. I am looking forward to seeing your colour photos and nice to do what you enjoy most.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great looking image.

[John]

Interesting juxtaposition of elements. Has an almost abstract quality in black and white.

[Margaret Brown]

You have done so well to keep up all this time, I’m afraid I dislike black and white so much I have never taken up the challenge.! I’m afraid I need and many others need a bit of colour in their lives to cheer them up!!

Great pov to see the shapes

I looked up the tag for2022 but don’t know what it means. If it is a competition than good luck with it. You deserve to do well.

[Judith Johnson]

I understand your frustrations Beryl. It's difficult finding a suitable subject for black and white especially if you're not able to get out so easily or can't get to the things you want.

A lovely b/w image

[Michelle]

Lovely capture

[Hazel]

I actually started to get a bit depressed one year doing flash of red. My photography is part of keeping well! This year I am just doing some and some.

[Lou Ann]

I’m sorry but I understand. You have a lot going on right now too.

[haskar]

For me February is very, very gray and there are no colors. So it's time for monochrome.

[Pyrrhula]

A great editing on this nice B+W capture

[Islandgirl]

Love the shapes!

[Phil Howcroft]

beryl it is your 365, you run it by your rules, enjoy your photography

[Shutterbug]

Love the textures. Always keep it fun. Do what brings you happiness.

[Beryl Lloyd]

@phil_howcroft - Thanks Phil - so kind , but each year I try to photo the one month out of my comfort zone -- and this year it did not work !! As you say the most important thing is that 365 brings happiness and joy to each individual !

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice one. Don't feel disheartened that you are giving up the challenge. I haven't even tried.

[Wylie]

lovely patterns nonetheless

[Kerry McCarthy]

Lovely shot though Beryl! I look forward to your color shots again!

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely capture

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely capture Beryl, I too love colour and especially at this time of year.

[Heather]

There are great swirls and layers to these shapes, Beryl, but I'm with you: I so love colour!

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely composition!
