For Wordless Wednesday, let your images tell the story.
Morning Mist Envelops the Forest
“So long as mists envelop you, be still. Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists – as it surely will. Then act with courage.” — Chief White Eagle

Thanks, Bren! I’ve been wanting to experiment more with monochrome, so this challenge coincides well with posting for Wordless Wednesday, too. Thanks for hosting 😀
I like the fog shot, Terri. And thanks for the resizing information. I’ve resized 240 or so photos on my blog now which is great but as I have close to 8,000, I still have a ways to go. I try to do 80 a day plus the photos in the current post but slow and steady wins the space. 🙂
Thanks, Janet! I’m glad to hear you are downsizing your images. I have a LOT to go through as well, and if I go decide to use an oldie but goodie, I check the size!
Both of the images tell a story. 🙂

Thank you, Frank! Out on a hike last year, I found this one lone tree, but enveloped with his neighbor trees. It made a great black and white shot!

that may be a seed tree? Loggers leave these isolated trees to help seed the area for future growth.

Hmmm, I didn’t know that, Wayne! A good bet it is since logging around here was (is?) a thing!

Thanks, Dawn. A forest of Ponderosas in b&w would be boring, but I’m happy how these turned out!

Thank you, Jacqui, there really is. I have to choose images carefully for them to be in B&W.
