Some Summer Color and Not......

As always, I am running behind in "current" photos to

post for you.

Today I still have some early summer photos

to share...(even though it is now early autumn!)

Some are of some colorful captures

and

some  are of some black and white ones.

I find that many times if you check your photos also in

black and white,

they can take on even more drama and loveliness

than in color.

See what you think on the ones inside this post....

Just a little moth I saw on an unknown white wildflower in the woods:

A turtle in the middle of a woods road.

(For the Love of God, please tell me I am not the ONLY person that makes her hubby

STOP the truck to take pictures of a turtle in the middle of the road?!):

Now...

for some black and white shots!:

A dandelion puff:

It was stuck in some leaves in my garden and the sun was hitting it just right...

I could NOT

not take this shot...right??:

Roots in the woods...

I loved how the black and white really shows off the wood's texture:

Would somebody PLEASE connect me with a support group

that helps my dandelion puff addiction???

"Hi. My name is Joan and I'm addicted to Dandelion puff photography."

"Welcome Joan".....

I just want to take my picnic basket and climb into that little tree cavern

and perhaps meet up with Alice in Wonderland or something....

O.K.

Okay...

back to summer color:

A little brook in the woods:

While walking through the woods on a path, I spied these shadows of the ferns

and just knew I had to take a shot:

For my grand finale today,

My "most colorful" shot:

Not only do I adore poppies,

but I fell in love with their tissue petals

and their black "granola" centers:

Don't forget that the August 2011's
