……that is all. 

 

Sepia has always been a medium I have wanted to use but I never really liked anything I did in it. So today I was playing around some with On1 Perfect Effects 9 using a B&W I took last week. I was able to come up with this interpretation of it in sepia.

Fun with effects using my iPod Touch 6th Gen.

  

The sun was finally out when I got home so I was able to get a shot or two if the daffodils. This was taken with my iPod Touch 6th Gen. 

 

This weeks Black & White Sunday challenge speaks to for I feel we all need renewed. Some of my fellow countrymen think we need newer and better things. Others think we need to regain some imagined past glory. Me? I think we need to be renewed from past mistakes and let other peoples past mistakes go so they may be renewed as well.

 

A healthy prairie has this lovely long flowing grass and it stays healthy only by a process called renewal by fire. There are controlled burns to make sure the prairie grass is not run over by non-native invasive plants. When we are letting go of past mistakes, disappointments or loss it feels as if we on fire. So we too can be renewed by fire.

Nature lays dormant every Winter waiting to burst forth in the Spring and when it does my spirit is renewed.

As the day slips into dusk, with night in pursuit, our body finds renewal in sleep.

 

  

The rainy days versus days of sunshine is about 5 to 1 but this shot is pointing to one thing: Spring Is Coming!

Butterfly my outside-unless-it-is-cold-or-snowing cat decided she would venture out yesterday. I am sort of like her: I am a fair-weather lover my self. So here is my fair weather feline.
