Default Some black and whites and others

I havent been around much lately as I have had a pretty tough time this last month or so. I feel I am getting past it and thought I might share a few I have been working on:

This was a refinery I shot while driving in Arizona
_C312926

And a rock formation somewhere in western New Mexico
Rocks

This is Fishers Peak, a common site where I live
_1203452

and one of my adorable grandchildren. one of 2 that were named after me.
_C302883

Very dramatic B&W's. Love the color over Fisher's Peak. And it looks to me like you saved the best for last -- what an adorable little girl, beautifully photographed! Hope life settles down a bit for you -- I'm finding that getting out with my camera makes a bad day better every time.

It's always good to see what WR's gonna show me next...I really like the refinery shot, the details in the clouds/steam is really cool,

Little Michelle is adorable, what a face !!

Sorry to hear things havn't been so great for you, it sounds like it's getting a little better. my doctor always prescribes me taking the windshield off my bike and going for a ride
( because he rides too ) of course he has a gold wing with heated everything and a snowmobile suit LOL.

thanks for sharing them, I hope things begin turning around for you.

Vin

I love these shots, that first one with the contrast & texture in the billowing clouds of smoke from the refinery is truly awesome
