Monday Monochrome
I thought this stone path leading into the woods would make a good picture, and I wasn’t disappointed. I was intrigued by the feeling of mystery. Where does the path lead? You can’t tell from here.

Monday Monochrome – Barn Windows
This image is the Monday Monochrome this week. I originally exhibited this image in color (the barn is red). But I now like the B&W version. The wall has a lot of texture, and the shadow of the tree adds to it. Then the windows stand out rather dramatically.

Monday Monochrome – Teahouse and Tree
For this week’s Monday Monochrome, we have this tree growing right up alongside a Japanese teahouse. The teahouse has been featured here before. Here, it’s just a sliding panel door of the teahouse.

Monday Monochrome – Queen Anne’s Lace
This week’s Monday Monochrome is this image of Queen Anne’s Lace blooms. Queen Anne’s Lace is the wild ancestor of the cultivated carrot and is found in meadows, roadsides, and waste places. While considered a weed in many areas, it serves as a host plant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly and attracts beneficial insects. (Can you spot…
