I dream of castles in the air.
Castles in the air.
But, try to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.
Put on your high topped sneakers
Most days, I see the world in glorious hues … so dazzling that I’m blinded by them. But now and then I have to look at life through a different lens.
A different lens
Sometimes life is as simple as black and white. I’m taking a day of quiet reflection to examine my world. I hope to see you another day.

Those boots are great, a perfect choice fo B&W.
The plate camera is very special from a my view – I am a camera nut.
A great start on the Mono trail – you are very welcome.

Thank you, Aileni. and thank you for hosting this wonderful meme!
Is the castle eatable? It looks sweet at creamy – I am ready to gobble the whole thing – really hope it is not just plastic. The boots are cool – I had legs for those long time ago. Now I can only fit in stretchable
Thank you for these visions.
I’m afraid that is a “topper.” Those aren’t my boots…trust me I don’t have legs like that anymore either! Thanks for dropping by to see these.
Wow, when you join a meme you do it in a big way – great take on mono. Very creative choice of shots Shelly.

I am honored that you would say that, Robin. You know I go overboard with everything I do (I’ll be sorry a couple of weeks from now when I’m looking for a picture to post, won’t I?).
Very well done. You certainly deserve an “atta girl” for this one. What is so neat about b & w photography is that it forces you to imagine.

Thank you my friend. Now, I want to try to see what sepia tones will do!
Love the photos . i’ll have to look into this monochromatic meme. Love the boots and the other lens and the castle. Gee, I guess I love them all!!

Thanks, Heather. You’ll love the meme, too!
Nice shots .. saw a teen wearing those sneakers this weekend…
Daryls last blog post..monochrome monday
Teens can get away with them, Daryl!
However I confess that I spent quite a bit of time trying to find where to buy them on-line. Somehow I think they would lose something in translation when worn by an old lady.
Love all these photos. But those sneakers really “sing” to me. I am “older”, but can see such possiblility in them! I would love to wear them when trekking the shores of our wintry beaches right now! They would be great for walking and break the chilly blasts of sea winds! Hmmmmmm…

I’d love the sneakers, too, Gemma … but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t look as good on me.
