depends for much of its attractiveness upon the attendance sense of freedom
from whatever is low; upon a sense of purity and of romance.” — P. T. Barnum

Something new forthcoming is that there is going to be a theme that will only be once a month. The first Monochrome Madness theme will be “MM” which will be next week (MM 2.4) and then the first Tuesday of every month after that. There will be two galleries during theme week, one for the theme and one like there normally is for those that may not do a theme.
Leanne Cole and Laura Macky’s weekly Monochrome Madness will be posted later today for your viewing pleasure on Leanne’s blog. If you would like to participate and submit a photo in the coming weeks, please email your monochrome image to leanne@leannecole.com.au and include a link to your blog or website if you have one. It doesn’t have to be WordPress blogger, it can be a Facebook page, a Flickr page, etc. Include your name or your blog name. The image size should be low resolution, so the largest size should be 1000 pixels or less. The deadline for submission is before 6 p.m. on or before Tuesday, Melbourne Australia time. The earlier the better for Leanne. If you should miss the deadline your photograph will be posted the following week. The complete instructions are posted on Leanne’s blog should you have any questions or need help.

“Chaque fleur est une âme en fleurs dans la nature.”

The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy.
Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh. — Rumi
