It’s finally spring and back home things are starting to sprout. My daughter reported in Monday afternoon there are lots of green popping up in the yard. e’ll have to wait until we get home this weekend, but I am in no rush. Thanks for sharing your blooms. Have a fabulous day.
Spring arrived, then went away again! I like your header where the blossoms are sculptural and the middle top row where they are clearly outlined against the sky. Otherwise I’m with Jude, I’d prefer colour.
Well, colour is probably best, but I have a sneaking liking for b/w, especially when the flowers are white. Yes, spring is blowing very hot and – usually – cold, isn’t it?
That helmet looks like an oldfashioned bonnet. An early cross-dresser?? White flowers take the de-colorization process best, I think. I llike them a lot.

My favourite of these is those bare branches picked out against the sky.

That’s almost sacrilege, Margaret- celebrating Spring in black and white! Happy Easter xx

No, No, No, you cannot celebrate spring blossom in black and white. I’ll take the first one as it’s kinda abstract, but the rest? NO!

Fair enough, but I’m happy with b/w in these examples. Just don’t look at them!

I love the first shot in particular, and I reckon it’s OK to celebrate spring in B&W as long as you do so in colour too!

I think so. I’m quite comfortable with b/w spring images. But yes, some colour is good as well.

I enjoyed these, particularly the sculptured bust apparently enjoying the sprays of spring blossoms up above.

Yes, I can cope with white flowers in b/w. Poor Jude can’t! Your Cross-Dresser – my Military Man.
