The Weekend in Black and White: Parking garage stairs
I wish that I had taken more time to compose this shot but I was rushing. It's an approximation of what I had in mind.

The Weekend in Black and White: My boot prints on March 1
The prints my boots left when I was on the deck feeding birds on the first day of March look like I was crashing around but I didn't have any falls or difficulty.

The Weekend in Black and White: It's not easy being a bird in winter
I could have made my title it's not easy being a bird or human in winter since I lost power for 18 hours but it's still harder being a bird. My furnace is running full blast warming up my freezing house.

The weekend in black and white: Tracks
I took these shots Thursday morning.
After the sleet and freezing rain Monday night the surface was so hard that there weren't any tracks and only a few breaks from my boots.
Wednesday was sunny and the melting began to be followed by a brief snow so the next morning prints started showing up.
The dove in the middle shot was waiting for me to add some warm water which I did but it's so cold today the birds have to be quick because it is refreezing too fast. I'm giving them bath and drinking times but can't keep up with it as much as I normally do. The first shot is of bird and squirrel prints and the last one is my boot.

The Weekend in Black and White: evergreens and deciduous trees
Not the best shot but I liked the contrast in texture between evergreens and deciduous trees at the lake.

The Weekend in Black and White: The First Day of 2015
I couldn't decide whether to use my frosty leaves or cormorants for a black and white post.
I decided to use both shots.

The Weekend in Black and White combined with Today's Flowers
The frigid air this week was too much for the mums and pretty much all the flowers. It occurred to me that these mums which were bowed down low and began to turn brown with the cold snap would still look good in black and white. It is interesting to me how you can't even tell they are browning without full color. I always think mums are for the optimist where I live because the odds are it will either get too hot if they are planted too soon or they will get frozen if planted too late. These mums were planted in a public garden on the late side and the buds barely opened before they were frozen.

The Weekend in Black and White: Mixed textures
I like the way moss and plants look nestled on rocks.
Looks like the trees below didn't last with the rocks but still provide good contrasting texture.

The Weekend in Black and White: Mountain Farm Museum
We walked past the Mountain Farm Museum on our way to the Oconaluftee River Trail.
I think I like the shot equally in black and white and color.
