Monochrome Monday

in monochromemonday •  6 years ago 

Today was overcast with a touch of melancholy. Where has all my sunshine gone? The only thing that I have seen for days on end is rain, rain, rain. April showers brought May flowers, but, this is July.

To be fair, these are pictures from that rain, rain, go away stage. So, I felt like I should go back to that time when it seemed more normal to rain once and again.

There is a sense of lonesomeness, with the empty bench and the fog framing it all in.

There must be flowers. Always. Flowers. Even on #MonochromeMonday with @old-guy-photos.

I'm sure it's in the bible. Somewhere.

I take a deep breath and blow those blues away. It's only a little rain. After all, he loves me, he loves me not... and I can be blowing these all day long. Is that such a bad thing?

I have to say any fog in mono tends to add mystery and melancholy. I like how you got some empty seed pods there instead of concentrating on just the full ones. Adds to the theme of the post.

A perfect MM you have here. Very well done as always!

Fog does have a way of pushing a little melancholy into the picture, doesn't it? How could I add the delightful little dandelions without the dismal empty, blown away ones, right?

Thank you, as always. I am really liking posting more than the one picture for Monochrome Monday!

Tip!

You REALLY have stepped up your game as in posting and formatting! Well done!

monocrome with tree and out side, looks good!

Thank you so much @sheikh27

I love fog in mono shots like this gives an eerie cool feel to it

Thank you. I will take fog on the side of anything almost. I agree with the eerie feel of it. I think it enhances most things.

Thank you, JJ!

Most welcome ;)

Beautiful shots and very apropo to #monochromemonday. I consider you fortunate to get a little mid-summer rain. We could use some to douse the forest fires. We need some of that east coast mojo over here:)

If I could, I would ship it all over to you. I actually do not look forward to summer in those areas that are prone to forest fires. California got luckier than they usually are this year.

Sending you some East Coast Mojo Pronto!

Tip!

:):):)

great shots .. :)

Thank you! :) Here! Take a tip!

Love that fog! Regarding the rain... please, oh please send some west!

I hear you! Believe me, I would if I could. So devastating without these April showers in July!

Beautiful photographs @dswigle. I love the dandelions. They are such great subjects both as flowers and seed heads. Great value for a weed I believe! 😁

Great value for a weed I believe!

Hehehe... yes.

Tip!

I agree @dswigle. Along with daisies they are one of my favourite weeds. In fact, there are a number of "weeds" I really like. 😁

Thank you for the tip! 😍

The pleasure is mine!

@dswigle I really like the sunny days and I miss him as much as you when he is not, however I must admit that I would not miss him so much if I can take these beautiful images in black and white. I really like these images dear friend
I wish you a beautiful night

Thank you so much for your awesome comment! Fog is always so very beautiful! I wish you a wonderful night!

Beautiful photos and I always love reading your positive posts! They make me smile!

Thank you! This is probably more subtle than normal, but, I need happy... The alternative is too harsh to live with! XXO

Tip!

Thanks for the tip. We all need a bunch of happy these days!

Absolutely!

Wow wonderful weather cloudy ...My favorite weather is cloudy. I like this kind weather,because I can feel cold wind touch my face and no sunshine means not very hot and feel calm and refresh.

In the heat of the summer, I agree with you! Thank you for taking the time to stop in and make a nice comment!

Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful! It is good that it rains if it has brought you this inspiration. Melancholy is well associated with the rain ... to some, like me, and little pessimism. There can not be just the sun. We would all be blind!

I like the way you look at it. A little rain to break up all that sun ... sounds perfect!

Hi, Dan!

Hi Denise, I've dedicated a post, I've been notified, but you probably have not seen it. I do it again, @dswigle!

The sun will come out
Tomorrow

LOL Is that a promise? Because you know I will hold you to it! :)

Tip!

Um, well, it will be out here. Probably.

Send me smoke signals if you get some. Unless it rains. Pretty please.

A bit cloudy today, but the sun is out every now and again. Now setting stuff on fire to notify you.

Nothing we can eat, I trust. Now, if you could blow it a little more east. By the time it reaches me, I will be visiting New York.

There yet?

No!! How did you send it? Ground mail?

I think I saw a ghost there hehe

This makes me want to get intro photography

It was foggy, damp and Autumn-like
in my area today as well.
This is Mother Nature's way of preparing us
for the upcoming Fall days, Denise.
"After the rain, the rainbow"🌈
I hope you are blessed to see a rainbow tomorrow
followed by delightfulful sunshine.

A big ((hug)) to you after I saw
the photo of your beloved cat.

That first picture is eerily beautiful.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Looks like the perfect bench to get some peace and quiet. Take a nap to the sounds of the water nearby.

hello pretty much fog, the fog makes me sad
Happy Thursday

I love misty landscapes @dswigle especially when they are captured as well as you have done with these images. My favourite is the first, second, third, fourth and fifth one. (U & R )

an excellent B&W!!
Beautiful and breathtaking! this photograph is equally stunning, amazing!
