Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Black and White

I’ve been looking forward to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week because the theme is Black and White!  I’ve been having lots of fun switching my photographs from color to black and white!  I’m getting a better feel for which ones will look better or at least just as good black and white.

DIY Large Photo Wall Art

If you’d like to use one of your own photos for a DIY Photo Wall Art project, Sugar Bee Crafts  has a great post to walk you through each step.  For less than $15 I was able to make a 3′ x 4′ piece of art with a photograph I took in California!  It’s hanging in my office, so I can look out the window at the woods and look on the wall at the woods!

I found the idea on Pinterest and followed the link!  It’s a great idea for photos of people also.  Next, I’d like to make some for friends!

Wintertime Walk in the Woods

Walking in the woods is magical!  Even when you go to the same place over and over again…there are always new ways to look at the same scenes and these scenes change through the weeks and months.  There’s nothing like breathing in the sweet-clean-woodsy air and feeling the sun’s rays upon your face.  The sky seems bluer in the woods.

I love the way the towering trees cast shadows and surround you with their being…

The paths seem so inviting.  Without leaves, the trees don’t seem lonely.

A light dusting of snow still clings to this path…

Icicles glint in the light and seem to sprout from the rocks…like roots from a tree.

The trees admire their reflections in the icy water…

I’m grateful for the woods!
