Beauty In The Gutter

I was out for a brief walk and spotted this gutter. In spite of the rain we had the other day, there was no water draining out of it however, leaves and vines had accumulated around the opening, and surprisingly, I thought it looked kind of cool. I liked how it all seemed to fit together into a nice fall looking arrangement. It didn't have as much charm in color so I chose B/W.

I just realized, I have reached my 100th. I have been so busy enjoying 365 that I lost count. That went fast.

Cool, fantasy kinda pic!

[Hillary Torrey]

Very neat. The b&w brings character to it!

[Constance Brinkley]

Very subtle. You need to take a moment and look at it to see the drain and surrounding bush. Great in b/w

[Sue]

and not a speck of garbage, thats what I like about it :D

[Carolyn R]

As Constance said...Very subtle. That's what 365 is all about...taking time to look!

[cglist]

It doesn't look like a gutter at all... quite lovely!

[Isabel]

Just proves there is beauty everywhere if we pay attention.

[Angela Thoms]

I love the B&W. The leaves look like they are silver. Great way to beautify a gutter.

[bonnie lee wilson]

Its awesome how the light reflects off parts of the leaves. Who would think that beauty could be found in the gutter?
