You don’t take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. – Author Unknown
Monochrome Madness will be posted later today for your viewing pleasure on Leanne Cole’s blog.
If you would like to participate and submit a photo in the upcoming 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. The first MM of every month will have a theme. The next theme will be “Urban” for MM 2-26. Since Leanne will be visiting the USA she asks that you send your photos by the 28th of August. There will be two galleries during the theme week,
one for the theme and one like there normally is for those that may choose not to do a theme. Monochrome Madness will be on hiatus as Leanne will be traveling to the USA and posting a journal during her trip. Be sure to send next week’s MM 2-26 early and no later than Sunday. ✽

“I’m an idealist. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.” — Carl Sandburg
“There is a powerful exercise, quite simple, which I began to use many, many years ago.
Who would I have met on the way, be it a person or an insect,
the first thought that I assume with respect to this point: “I wish you happiness! ”
But most importantly, that this idea was indeed the very first, “I wish you happiness.”
It completely changes on what is going on between you and that person.
I say this from personal experience.
Sometimes it’s very difficult when you meet the enemy
when you find yourself face to face with an unexpected tough situation …
And at this point you get an opportunity to create more space around you …
You see how it pops up this negative emotion, and before it will take “up” over you,
you have time to convert it … You see everything as it is:
that’s evident ignorance; anger – not that other, as ignorance from my side, from their side.
Convert him, let go, turn into love.
“I WISH YOU HAPPINESS!”
Try it and see how much everything will change in your life.”
~ Richard Gere
Boom and bloom, spending a sunny day at the park, waiting for the fireworks at dark.
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure.
Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. — Lao Tzu
