I know this dog was named Basco because the owner kept calling but he was too focused to “come”. I noted him while we were out in the freezing Summer Solstice wind for sunset viewing. I hope you don’t mind I include in color even if this is a Black and white challenge.

Note the white caps

I thank her for keeping the aphid population in check

Not a topiary but a disease on Tower of Jewels Echium. Makes good photography however.

I’m slow today because I’m watching Chile vs Holland World Cup match. Have to be for Chile because our daughter studied there.
Happy first Monday of Summer which photo captures your fancy today?

Hard to select a favorite. You know my devotion to monochrome. I must go with the sepia one at Bancroft Gardens. It has whimsy in its abstract qualities. Happy Photo Challenge.

So right the sepia brought out the critter qualities of these plants. Thanks and Happy Monday.

Had to slip that in. Probably colder here last night then where you are as winter begins. 🙂

Love black and white. I like the dog and the ladybug. The lady bug picture reminds
me of the one I took during photography class in high school. It was a “roly poly” on the brick post on our front porch. You probably saw it sometime in the olden days. lol
Anyway, I received an “A” on that photograph. Hey, still have it too.

Hi Carol – I like the elephant sculpture – it makes me want to reach in and touch it.

His sculpture is very tactile I wanted the grain of the marble to show up. Yeah stones!!!
