The Weekend in Black and White: through the front stairs railing


If any of my neighbors saw me lying down on my front door stairs trying to take this photo at an angle where the flower was seen through the wrought iron, I'm sure they thought I'd finally taken leave of the little bit of sense I have left.

    Pretty darn good if you ask me. The way you wiggled around to compose this on is amazing. That flower is something else. I really like this one. I’d say it’s definitely a keeper.

    I needed to be told it is wrought iron. I began by looking at the picture (before reading the text) and spent so much brain power wondering what the ring is, I missed the flower.
