The Weekend in Black and White

A seriously contemplative moment.

For many more black and white photos, visit the Home Page.

Monochrome Weekend.

I'm sorry I didn't get to visit you all last week, but I hope to do better this week!

This is the exhaust of my son's motorbike after a shower of rain.

Visit the Monochrome pages for a wide variety of excellent photographs.

ABC Wednesday - Y.

We're very nearly at the end of the alphabet again. Just one more week to go, and Denise has asked if we want to carry on. My answer is a huge
YES!
This week the letter is
Y.

This is my son on his motorbike, wearing a high-visibility YELLOW waistcoat/vest. He's waiting at the end of our road, at the sign that once - before part of the Y fell off - said YIELD.

Here he has parked so that he can take photos.

YES,
the motorbike is a
YAMAHA.

This is part of the graveyard wall beside the Old Chapel. The trees are Irish YEW (Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata'). I've been told that, in this case, the yellow tree is male and the dark green is female.

More Y posts can be found through the ABC Wednesday page.
Maybe you'll feel like joining in with Round 5.

Monochrome Monday

I've seen motorbikes in several places today, and sadly it was the last World Superbike race of the year, so I have motorbikes on my mind.

So my monochrome this week is of Eldest Son on his motorbike.

Monochrome Monday is hosted by Aileni, and more Monochrome Maniacs can be found on the dedicated Linky page.

Have a good week.

ABC Wednesday - G

Today's ABC Wednesday features the letter G.

G is for GARAGE.

Now, being me, my take on garage is a bit unusual, but if you're all sitting comfortably, then I'll begin. (Slight digression for those in a younger age-group than mine - that was the way the old radio programme "Listen With Mother" used to start!)

Once upon a time there was a garden shed. This shed was old, and had been used for a lot of things. One day a young man bought a motor scooter and stored it in the shed. Later he also bought a motor-bike. This also needed to be kept in the shed, but the door was very narrow. The young man's brother came and built new doors for a new wider doorway.

Yes, it fits!

So the shed became a GARAGE.
And lived happily ever after.

Then on my walk I found another GARAGE. This one keeps the worst of the weather off a small Hard-working tractor.

For more G words, visit MrsNesbit and the other participants, and have a Good Wednesday.
