This image was my most recent contribution to Monochromia, taken at Shelton Vineyards in North Carolina. A new image will come out early tomorrow morning.
Have you visited Monochromia yet? If you love B&W Photography, you really should visit this collaborative blog, chock full of wonderfully different images from a talented group of photographers.
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things 
Laurie – you have been putting out some great stuff, but I think you are even getting better at your photography. A little bolder/broader all the time, to this untrained eye.Nice!
Bruce, that means so much to me. I look back at photos I took just a year ago and see improvement. I’m inspired and very much challenged by the other photographers.
Yes, I’ve been following LB’s fab adventures for a year or so and there is no doubt, it keeps on getting better.
Tricky things fountains, there is a good one near to me, but.. they turn it off at a time just before i go there 😀
You’ll have to change your routine then!
Careful, these things cannot be rushed..
LOVE the way you caught the drops you did in the formation they are. Very cool shot, Laurie! Well done!!! (((HUGS))) Amy
Thank you, Amy!
You are so welcome, Laurie. Please don’t mind me! I just got the news I need a color calibration thingie which I am about to order from amazon. ARGH! WHY does technology be so complicated now? Anyways … I’m putting my new laptop aside for now …. I’m now done with stress today. 🙂
I was distressed to read your first message and only a bit relieved to read this one. At least you have found the problem. But how is it that something (photography) that gives such great joyalso brings such frustration?
I’m hoping that putting that laptop away and stepping away from the frustration eased your stress, Amy. Thinking of you!
Laurie, I am not comfortable with new. I like routine with my photography. It has been one thing after another with getting this new laptop (the optical drive aka DVD is not working right so we ordered a new one no charge), and that is just one thing. Yes, it really has been stressful. Learning a new OS. Getting this laptop all setup. Now the final stage is getting the coloring the way I need it to be for my photographs. I almost have it, but with the device I bought yesterday this will make the colors right on. I AM OK TODAY, Laurie, really. Yesterday I just broke. I have so many plans for new for this coming year. Perhaps this one was the toughest one. I hope. Thank you for your concern!!! Love, Amy
A tough shot to capture well – great job Laurie.
Thank you, Tina! Hope you had a lovely weekend!
Lovely picture. . . the monochrome picture add layers of interest to the photo, and enables me to see lots of things that I’d miss if it was in color.
You are so right … like those shadows in the background and the differences in the water droplets. So glad you like this one!
Lovely Laurie! sorry haven’t had time to stop by in a while. HOpe you’ve been doing well. Love this picture.
Oh it’s so good to hear from you! I’ve missed your lovely blog and have hoped you’ve not posted lately because you’ve been on an amazing trip somewhere. Hope all is well for you, too!
