A rainy Wednesday in the country
Yancunyong suggested that we try taking some more photographs in black and white. I had to find my camera book and find the directions again for the black and white setting on my camera. By the time I did that, it was raining again, but I slipped on a jacket and went out anyway. I really like some of the shots I got this morning. See what you think.
It is still raining. I need to do some house cleaning, but I think I may take a nap first. I didn't sleep very good last night.
I need to get the house in order, soon. Six of our granddaughters are coming tomorrow for the weekend. Hope I can last as long as they can!
And I need to make some banana cookies. I have couple of bananas that are too ripe for me to eat.
I love the contrast of the dainty white blooms and the dark leaves. These are much better than the ones similar to this that I took in color. They look like little orchids.
Here's another flower with rain drops. I like the way the rain drops really stand out in these black and white shots. I have several different kinds of daisies. I planted a package of wildflower seed last year. Most of these are flowers that came back from seed that fell last year.

I heartily hope you will have happy and lovely weekend with your granddaughters (^^). I'm envious that they enjoy your handmade banana cookies. Please share your picture of your delicious-looking banana cookies!
I'm going to have to try later to get a picture to the cookies. When I picked up the bananas, they smelled sour instead of sweet so I threw them away. But I will make some another time and share a photo.
I'm glad you like the black and white shots. I really like the ones of the bean blossoms. I love the contrast of the black and white. I have taken some pictures of them in color and they aren't very striking that way. I do like the effect of the second flower after I tweaked it a bit. I need to experiment more with my photo editing program. Usually all I do is resize so they will load faster.
I'm looking forward to seeing your black and white shots. I'm sure they will be awesome!
