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.

One Word Photo Challenge – Chartreuse

Chartreuse  (the web color) is a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the greencolor of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764

Natures flowers- Ritva Sillanmäki (12 of 80)
I like to think the background color is correct, in the last picture it is more yellow…the one in the middle are either one depending on your screen / monitor settings 🙂

chartreuse yellow is a yellow color mixed with a small amount of green that was named because of its resemblance to the color of one of the French liqueurs called yellow chartreuse, introduced in 1838
