Summer's Glory Forgotten

Another shot from our Shoot Out today. Seven of us braved the cold and were rewarded with some beautiful scenery and lots of photographic opportunities. Of course I was thinking ahead to the Flash of Red Challenge which begins tomorrow, so many of the pictures I took I had in mind to convert to black and white. This was one of them. Even though the original is also devoid of a lot of color, I really think the black and white features the wispy details of these faded beauties quite nicely.

Awesome shot

This is a lovely shot, Ann. It's amazing how one (okay - YOU) can make dead or dormant plants into a work of art.
