Mom and I drove down to Brockville. I took some photos of abandoned buidlings on the way, and some plant photos in Spencerville. These are the Spencerville photos.

Aside from the contrast between the whiteness of the flower, it is also the contrast between the dirt and debris on the leaves compared to the pristine whiteness of the flowers. All-in-all, probebly one of my best photos.

this one caught my eye...it is very surprising and the B&W works very well. It sort of forces the viewer to look at the flower in a complete different way...challenging....gone all the fancy stuff,what has left is what really matters.

I just love it. There are several in colour but I love the contrast between the smooth dark leaves and the crinkly textured flowers....
