My delightful friends Dominique and DeeDee have both nominated me for this challenge. Me being an all-or-nothing kind of guy decided I would do 14 days straight. This has the added advantage of meaning I don’t have to think up anything new to post for a couple of weeks…..
Some of my pics are new, some are old, some have appeared on Instagram already (in colour). Some of the subjects have special significance for me, some have special significance for friends, some are just pretty pictures.
With regards choosing nominees. I really don’t enjoy doing that. So I am going to use this opportunity to nominate new bloggers and new followers to help them enter the fold of this lovely community. There is no obligation, and anyone else who wants to take part is very welcome to do so!
The rules are: Seven days. Seven black and white photos of your life. No people. No explanation. Challenge someone new each day.
Today’s nominee is: Mita
Addendum:
Here is the plant in flower. Normally bright yellow, this is the orange form of the yellow horned poppy – Glaucium flavum. The leaves are less attractive by flowering time, having shed many of the hairs.

That is an interesting shot of a peculiar plant. Can’t wait to know what kind it is. Happy Sunday Darren. xoxo

Yep! The leaves are very hairy and silvery when young but lose this at flowering time.

Ummm… it looks like something from invasion of body snatchers. I can’t help it. It also looks like frost covering a green plant. It’s pretty fabulous the way the textures are life like in black and white. Almost as if they’re breathing.
I can’t wait to see the color photo. 😀

I can’t decide which one of the two shots I prefer. The B&W holds mystery and the color one reveals the true beauty of the Horned poppy. Both are lovely.

thank you. It is a nice plant at any time except when in seed when it is a bit scruffy.
