It was one of those gray and gloomy overcast days and, as such, there was not much color to be found here with this old, broken tree and the mighty creature perched in its branches. I don’t know if this is some type of hawk or maybe an eagle. In any case, black and white seemed the appropriate choice for taking this photo.

Replacing our old wood deck with one made of composite materials is a low-priority item on our To Do list right now. Until then, we’re stuck with looking at the moss and mold growing on the steps and framework whenever we climb up the stairs from our patio. Normally, I don’t even notice this subtle shade of green embedded in the wood grain shown here but it jumped out at me today in light of this week’s Fun Foto challenge!

Dusk was about an hour away and I hadn’t yet taken any photos for my daily Project 365 initiative. We’d been out of town the last two days and we were exhausted by the time we finally returned home earlier this evening. After emptying the dishwasher and tending to laundry, I sat a spell and played with my camera. Because there was still adequate light for a bit of a ‘hunting’ expedition, husband and I decided to see what we could see as we headed toward country roads not yet traveled – always my favorite way to explore new photo ops!

After a few shots of farm sheds, crooked mailboxes and ditch weeds, we stumbled upon an old church and cemetery. More photos to follow later but I was especially pleased with this skyward shot grounded by the entry to the church grounds. We’ll definitely return and next time we’ll pack up the DSLR and our tripod and try to allow for more evening daylight so we have adequate time to play and explore!

This little outing made my day. Don’t ever call me high maintenance. You can forget fancy cars, jewelry and nights on the town. THIS is my idea of great fun!
