Calm After the Storm

Squantum Causeway offered nice reflections of Marina Bay towers and townhouses.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Fleeting Clouds

The Intercontinental Hotel in Boston has an ever-changing glass surface that is fun to photograph.
Happy Monochrome Monday!

Gone To Seed

This backlit milkweed is awaiting a good breeze to help disperse it's seeds.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Fancy Cabbage

This is the season for ornamental cabbages.  Their veins pop in monochrome and those edges look spiky and sharp.  Watch for the color version.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Shuttered

Some TLC needed for this facade.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Pavement & Puddles

Pavement and puddles are a welcome sight on Warren Ave.    Happy Monochrome Monday!

Snow Fence

Happy Monochrome Monday!

Let It Snow!

Quincy got two to three feet of snow in last week's storm.  Schools were closed for 4 days.  It looks like we need to make room for some more magic white crystals!  Ahh, New England winter . . .  presents new photo opportunities.         Happy Monochrome Monday!

Why'd the Peacocks Cross the Road?

Happy Monochrome Monday!

Saltmarsh Sentry

I spotted this Great Blue Heron soaking up some sun along the Quincy River Walk.  Happy Monochrome Monday.

Travel Tuesday: Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada

Cheticamp is a busy fishing village on the Cape Breton coast of Nova Scotia.

Dock Glow

The dock and ramp at Blacks Creek glow with the beautiful autumn light. 

High & Dry

Happy Monochrome Monday!  These sailboats road out the recent storm on the shore of Blacks Creek Lagoon.  I posted this in color a few days back but think I like the mono as well.

Learning To Ride

Wollaston Beach walkway is a great place for young ones to practice riding a bike.  The shadows caught my eye in this one.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Rained Out

Monochrome works nicely on this rainy day image taken at Pageant Field.  (Thank you, Clueless, for working your monochrome magic on this.)  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Travel Tuesday: Scituate, Massachusetts

The clouds were menacing at Scituate Light last week.  I like how this image renders in black and white.  It's amazing how the light-keeper's house survived last winter's storms!  I wonder what it was like when Rebecca and Abbie Bates (the light-keeper's daughters) lived here and fought off the Brits in the War of 1812? 

Lines and Shapes

The gazebo at Blacks Creek after last week's spring rain.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Umm . . .

I couldn't resist playing around with this image I saw through the raindrops of my car windshield.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

White-out

The Church of the Presidents is still visible as the snow blankets Quincy Center.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Snowy Hall

Quincy City Hall looks like a winter wonderland in the snow.
