Linear Persceptive

This is my first winter of retirement, although winter seems long to some, skating twice a week helps me enjoy the winter months! :)
Another for the flash of red 2018 challenge with the emphasis this time on lines, shapes, and perspective.

Thank you for sending yesterday's photo of my orchid to the PP, your comments and favs are always appreciated!

Smashing shot, I am impressed at your skating! I tried it as a child but just couldn't get the hang of it at all. I love to watch it though.

I don't know how you all survive the winters there but I did love my brief experience of it. I like the b&w.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Your braver than I, haven't been in skates since my parents took away my boys skates as they didn't want me playing hockey with the boys. They instead saved a bought be these bright white figure skates saddest Christmas I every had. Guess what I couldn't skate in them and they were too girly girl for me as well. LOL Excellent composition especially in black and white and I'm so happy your enjoying skating and I hope you have fun too. FAV
