Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – December 17, 2022

thanks to Sue W. and GC for the prompt ‘wish’ https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/12/17/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-wish/

What do you wish for this time of year? Presents, time with the family, solitude, Peace, good health…..?

My wish for all is whatever brings you happiness. Presents are nice and I love to give them but the other things on my list are more important to me. I loved spending time with my granddaughters and my family this year. That was my number one wish in 2022.

Monochrome Madness – Nature’s Textures Highlighted

thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting Monochrome Madness https://leannecole.com.au/monochrome-madness-phillip-island-in-monochrome/

Black and white photography seems to emphasize the textures on flowers and plant materials and the sharp contrast between black and white pulls out details to the forefront.
