Black and White Wednesday


Throughout the year it is pretty common for me to have bud vases on the table filled with bouquets of weeds. Right now I have three dandelions and some clover adorning my kitchen table. To Lindy these aren't weeds but beautiful treasures.

On Valentine's Day, it was pretty enough to let her run through the yard barefoot. She immediately scored some great treasures and salivated when she saw a little crop of dandelions waiting to be blown into the wind.





I hope someday to have the knowledge and tools to really enhance these pictures and improve their look. However, I do love the moment in time that was captured...

Find your way over to Lisa's blog if you want to see more black and white shots.

May you always find beauty where ever you look!

Oh my goodness - what a gorgeous series of pictures! Nothing is better than blowing dandelions (well, except of course, having a bouquet of fresh ones on your table!)

They look fabulous in Black & White - Lindy is always beautiful!

There is nothing that says childhood like a child blowing a dandelion.
I think they look great in bw.
You did a great job!

I am slightly jealous it was warm enough to be barefoot. If we went in our yard we would be stuck to our knees in mud.

No "precious flowers" here yet ;)

Oh, these are so sweet. Just love them! Precious pictures.

Our Jadyn loves dandelions too. She will pick them by the handfuls. Still too cold and snowy for them yet this year.

Several weeks ago, she asked me what weeds were. I mentioned dandelions. She said, "You mean I've been picking WEEDS??" Oops, maybe she'll forget about that conversation and just go on enjoying her dandelions. :)

There is just something so very precious when our children pick 'flowers' and bring them indoors. I never tire of those flowers in my house.

These are all sweet pictures of your beautiful girl, Lisa! I have a thing for blowing dandelion pictures...love them!

Wish we had a little bit of your weather!

What a sweet child and I really love that dress. I'd love to see it in color too. It looks like it was pastels? Anyway, BEAUTIFUL in black and white!

Such a sweet series of Lindy. I think these would be adorable framed and grouped together!

I just love this moment you captured. Barefoot on Valentines Day? (Only in my dreams!)

Beautiful photos! I love the dandelions blowing in the wind, and your daughter is just gorgeous! The black & white really makes them looks timeless.

Oh, Lisa, they are perfect as they are. Lindy is so precious and I am diggin' the bare feet. I can't wait until our ground is dry enough to let the girls do the same. These pictures are beautiful and so special to remember all of the beautiful "flowers" that she brings you.

Oh Lisa...

I didn't participate this week, so I'm a bit behind visiting...these are simply lovely.

Such a true and sweet moment you captured....breathtaking.
