Evening out

I spent an evening with friends on an island, unfortunately I did not take my camera with me so I took these with my mobile. Such a lovely sunset.

Monochrome Madness (24) – Young boy

This   is my submission to week 24 to the  Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I like the expression caught by the camera, my son had just woken up and was in no mood to be photographed. I think it is captured in this shot. I like that is not a posed shot.

Here are shots of gathered hammock, dogs toy, my husbands watch and a detail from a work bench. I was aimlessly walking around my yard, trying to find something decent to photograph. So I took shots of anything. Odd as not all are worth the time I spent on them.
