Really "funny".

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 thought it was a lovely building. I'm not sure what it is, now. It appeared to be an office of some kind.

Yes!. The woman came home just as we drove up. She took us inside and they talked all about the changes.... things that were there when Mom owned it, what had been torn down.... It was lovely. I didn't take pictures inside because I didn't think it would be polite and it was fery much different inside from when I was a toddler. The green siding on the outside wasn't there when Mom owned it. It was just white wood, then. I will post a link in your guestbook to the video of us finding it. You can "meet" my Mom!

It is Goldenrod. It isn't used for anything. The field is lying fallow. Perhaps they will turn it to corn one day. Actually, I think that there might be a honey farm to the right of the photo. I seem to remember there being a sign for something like that. Perhpas that;s where the bees go.

They look like some sort of wierd animal from Star Wars or something.

this one made me laugh! :)

is this a field with Solidago??? I think in English it is called Goldenrod??? what do you use it for? I have it in my garden....looks very much the same...

I love the colours here, especially the greyish blue...it is so beautiful!

beautiful picture...lots of character! and fab textures...well one!

I am so glad for the both of you that you finally found it...it must have been very special walking there.

oh well, his loss...right!?
But this look sreally great...did you meet the current occupants?

that must be pretty old then, I cannot see our youngsters using something like that...but it has its charms...especially when it is not too cold or wet outside!

is it a private home now or still a schoolhouse? nice building....good shot too!

did you went to school here as a kid...or were you just too young at the time?

that black one looks like a poodle that has been to the hairdressers...

oh, I like the way it is looking at you...smart little creature!

lovely, they are so cute eh?

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