A couple more pix

Michelle asked for some more photos, so I offer these two.

The first time I noticed a Canada goose up close, I thought it was a beautiful bird. A few weeks later, I saw what happens when a flock of them set up shop in a grassy area. I found these birds at Harris Riverfront Park a couple of months ago.

I changed the photo from color to black-and-white for no particular reason other than I like it better in monochrome. Here is the color version, uncropped. You decide:

I like to convert a lot of the family pictures I take into monochrome because it brings out the facial features and the emotions better. You don't look at the color of the shirt; you look at the texture of the skin. I guess I'm old-fashioned in that respect.

Then there is the floodwall at Catlettsburg, Ky. A lot of people want something painted on the Huntington floodwall to make it look better. They should take a trip to Catlettsburg. This is only one photo of many scenes painted on the floodwall there. Whoever did that job did it right.
