Laura- so glad you like it!
Roger- wish you could have been here this weekend. Gorgeous weather, and attended the American Orchid Society Fall show. The displays were so beautiful.
Laura- B&W photos can be interesting but if you want to put a smile on a face, just add the color.
Anna- thank you. I was so busy taking photos, I almost forgot to "stop and smell the orchids!"
Patricia- You're right. I think they just bring about different feelings.
J.Phlip- I'm no Ansel Adams either. I love them equally, though.

Great illustration, Kathy. It would be a pretty dismal world without color. I bet the show was fabulous!

Roger- yep... in the cold weather, but with a friend :)
Sharon- What was the name of the movie several years ago about everything being in black and white?? You would have loved the orchids!

Sally- I think the black and white photo reminds me of the grey days we sometimes have when it's overcast and rainy.
Trey- It's that time of year. How about caladiums!
Lou- I know my face lit up when I first walked into the AOS building!

Kathy,
I like both as both photos would work in a particular setting...Although I love color, I admire Ansel Adams' photography because of the shades of gray and black. Thought provoking, thanks A

kathy, My friend's husband was color-blind and always had his wife lay out his clothes for him. He didn't want brown socks with black pants. I love color and so thankful for my eyesight.

Kathy ~ what beautiful photos you've taken! I like the one with color the best because it seems to have more life ... but the black and white is stunning.

Kathy, We would be in a pretty plain, boring world, wouldn't we? Funny I'm reading this the day after I watched the Wizard of Oz. The first 20 minutes are in black and white and then Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz and her life is full of color and adventure. Love it!

Sandy- oh that's too funny... I turned it on for a few minutes yesterday and you're absolutely right. I always felt kind of depressed when I watched the first part in B&W. Adding color definitely made a difference for me.

Color plays a tremendous part in our lives and how we feel and react. Your illustration is a perfect example.
Nothing wrong with black and white and the contrast can be beautiful.

Margaret- Color, or lack of it, evokes a lot of different emotions and moods, doesn't it!
