— are constantly being overlooked.” – Pablo Casals

Downtown ~ Petula Clark
“To become a photographer leave your house first.” Steve McCurry
When I was roaming around the dark alleyways downtown these pigeons looked kind of like they should be a part of monochrome madness. All the fabulous monochrome photos will be flocking together on Leanne Cole’s blog later on today. Thanks goes to Leanne and Laura Macky for entertaining such a diverse and talented group of photographers weekly.

Here’s an example from
A Butterfly;
That on a rough, hard rock
Happy can lie;
Friendless and all alone
On this unsweetened stone.
Now let my bed be hard,
No care take I;
I’ll make my joy like this
Small Butterfly;
Whose happy heart has power
To make a stone a flower.
