And Sometimes A Ribbon....

I belong to the North Shore Quilters Guild and Dave is a member of the Urban Ecology Center Photo Club. We each have our monthly meetings and enjoy our separate "passions". He especially likes to bring his camera and lenses along in our RV and we do have some wonderful travel memories saved thanks to his efforts and talents. Also he's experienced more than one moment of frustration as he often seems to have the wrong lens on his camera when the perfect shot appears.

But sometimes things line up and work out in his favor. There is usually a photography challenge at each month's meeting and this month it was "mood". It's up to the photographer to bring in a picture that best frames that challenge. Framing a "mood" can be interesting....but going through his stash saved on line he came up with a few things he thought were "moody" and asked my opinion. They were good photos but didn't elicit any kind of moody feeling for me. I suggested he find one of the ones he'd taken over the years of a solitary old house, or barn and try printing it out in black and white to see what might happen. So he came up with this.

And after the meeting he came home with this....
