Vintage Lily of the Valley

What crazy day today! Started out by catching up on this and that (did the vaccuming!!); put together dinner early as I was hoping to get out to a photography lecture tonight. But at 5 pm the power went out after a huge downpour. Ten minutes later the sun was out but no power. Set out to find the lecture and the directions were all wrong. So after a lovely scenic drive, I returned home. Thankfully the power was back on. So I took a few shots of the flowers and decided to post this one on the new thread "Black and White for a Fortnight". This week's theme is gardens. The typical black and white conversion didn't really look all that great on this shot, so I put it through the vintage effects and like the outcome of this one. Now it's bedtime!

Love how you processed this, Anne. I have suddenly found out I have trouble with the sd card. Will have to fix it or get a new one immediately.

Great processing and perfect for the theme!
