if somebody told me
that my favorite
"i wear these to see the world in color"
glasses
had been stepped on and broken into tiny pieces
and
that in a panic
i proved to be terribly under qualified
to fix them with duct tape and super glue
and
then they said
~just to rub salt in my already painful wound~
"from now on everything you see will only be in black and white"
~~
well
i decided
that might not be so bad
well
at least until saturday
or so

Beautiful Beth, I have a pair of rose colored glasses for real...I do like the black and white, the bottom photo is exquisite. have a great day.
ReplyDeletemuch better than only seeing black (which our little Simon is only seeing now) :-(
ReplyDeletebeautiful b&w's!
okay,
ReplyDeletethe dandelion is unreal.
Beth, I never know what to say.
Love the poem, and love the photos. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat subjects are great even without color. These photos prove that! Love your writing, girl!
ReplyDeleteBrought a smile to my face as I started my 365 project determined to do all black and white. I think I only made it to week 2. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteMany portraits I think are much better in B&W...it takes away distractions and really highlights features and skin tones...the portrait is beautiful
ReplyDeleteB&W in the dandelion pic really highlights texture...Supurb photos Beth!...Have fun:)
I am fondly partial to black and white. The dandelion looks great in black and white and I love the softness of it that you captured.
ReplyDeleteIf duct tape & super glue won't fix it, then it is meant to be. Your photos show this to be true - I sneezed when that 2nd image appeared on screen. :)

Apparently it isn't a bad thing at all. Your photos are wonderful in black and white as well in color.
ReplyDeleteLove b&w but a girl has got to have color in her life!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeletestunning
and other super duper words
Loving the black and white!!! Great photos.

Make a wish.... and bloooooowwwww!
ReplyDeleteSo I still haven't decided if it is your fabulous photos or your way with words that keeps me coming back for more :) I decided...it's both!!!
ReplyDeleteBlack and white is good sometimes...but eventually we need a little color. But right now I am with you...black and white is suiting me quite well.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of black and white -- doesn't always work for everything, but sometimes it really centers your eye. Really makes you focus by removing the distraction...
ReplyDeleteI love your black and white, but after awhile I would miss the color too.
ReplyDeleteif a black and white world looks the way you "paint" it, then I am in...
ReplyDeleteThere is something special about the contrast of black and white and certain photos...but NO color ever ? Never, I hope.
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Beautiful Beth !
The dandelion is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love your black & white photos. Those two little girls are precious.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the dandelion photo, I get the urge to blow! Isn't that what photography is about?
I love black and white photos so much... but you are right if that was our only option forever, it might be rough.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics.
lovely photo work Beth! thanks for stopping by...
ReplyDeleteDandy-Lion! what a beauty
ReplyDeletecrap you're so good.
ReplyDeleteLove these.
OH. MY. GOSH.
ReplyDeleteBeth, that dandelion! It's perfection in B&W!!!
