ABC Wednesday: G is for gray grey

Depending on where you live you might spell it grey or gray. I go back and forth with my grey gray spelling.

  12. Oh I so much prefer grey with an 'e'! My dictionary didn't say it was optional. The e makes it seem more poetical. I really love grey as it appears in nature.

  28. Oh dear, I missed my chance to join the "G" post. Serves me right as it's another way too long one :) In the mean time, I really love these "gray" and "grey" shots. "I, too, waver back and forth between spellings.) You really brought out the gentle hues and mystical beauty of the many shades of black and white.
