What do you think? Pretty cool! Look at the center… Does it look like a Spirograph Design? Oh, what fun I had making doodles with that design toy when I was a kid.
Tomorrow I will show you the color version.
Post and photo done from my iPhone 5s .
Happy Monday!
Until Next Time. ~Nancy
Yes they can! Beautiful.
Thank You Tim! Stay tuned to hear about this sunflower tomorrow!
Of course it can! Ahhhh I can just feel the warmth from this shot.
Going to be 62 today and perfect for the College Football Championship Game in Glendale this evening!
Sheds a cold tear….. 😉
Yes! And it is beautiful!
Thank you my dear!
Nancy this is such a beautiful photo. The monochromatic gives such a softness to the flower. Gorgeous image!
Thank you sweet Sue! Hugs to you and those penguins!
Very unique. I look forward to the color shot to compare it to. With all the rain you’ve been getting, I’m thinking it’ll be a stellar wildflower season this spring. Oh what fun that’ll be!
Oh, the desert is very green! And I planted a rose yesterday and how easy it was to dig in the ground!
But all week we have sun so rain is gone for now. I am going to send you some texts of some shed pictures! Stay tuned!
I know how tough that ground usually is to dig in so congrats on planting the rose bush. Can’t wait to see it.
In all it’s glory…
In a few months… HOPEFULLY!!
Monochromatic certainly works – lovely shot Nancy
Thank You Clare! Are you staying cool? Last time I heard your temperatures were pretty high.
Oddly enough, this morning it is overcast and pleasantly cool. It has been very hot and there have been a lot of bushfires close by – but we’re safe and not in (or near) any danger.
That is truly lovely. It allows you to see the pattern in the center, the small flowers on the side, and the petals look like a beautiful skirt. Taking the color away allows you to see it in an entirely different format. 🙂
Exactly what I said this morning to myself! I saw more of the flower in black and white.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
The center is pretty cool! I love the Spirograph, too!
I know! I didn’t see it until I changed it to black and white.
As for the Spirograph I am buying one for the grandchildren for their next birthday!
Yes, absolutely. The patterns and geography of the sunflower are sharpened, deeper somehow in monochromatic. Great two part post Nancy.
Well thank ya… Ma’am!
Thank You For Participating!
This really works in black and white – picks up some nice details.
My feelings exactly! The dynamics of the flower are much more dramatic in the black and white!
Thank You for participating!
I guess they can! Beautiful.
Yea! So glad you like it too!
It really does make a great B&W!! A lot of stunning flowers make great monochrome shots…picks up contrast and details in shape lost to the visual impact of color…again…great shot!!
Oh Kirt… thank you for your kind words. I am so happy that you got to see it in the black and white!
How fun to even have a sunflower growing in JANUARY!
