A Magnificent Monochrome Monday
I had a visitor show up today...totally unannounced! Some folks are just so rude!
But I could not stay mad at him for long. I mean just look at him. He really looks like he is freezing all huddled over with his back to the wind. Standing on one leg as well. Aww you got to admit, there is something lovable about the old guy.
When I see flowers,
Great or small,
I think of you,
And wish you would call. LOL
It didn"t take long before he was up and strutting his Mr Bigstuff around like he owned the place!
This shot was pretty much useless in the colored form. So I decided to go all the way with it in mono and blowout the background and see what it would look like.
Hoping for the best tomorrow, but I am not very confident that this will solve all of the problems here.
Thanks for stopping by!
All words and images are mine and can be also found on my various social media sites. Now I must add that some of the shots I steal from my son Ben @silver314 , but I feed him so he can sue me lol.

Tomorrow is Hard Fork 21.
We're so glad it's finally done.
We aren't sure exactly what it will do,
Except make folks want Hard Fork 22.
Happy Hard Fork Eve, @old-guy-photos! ; )
Oh that is a fine one, HH!! I think we can teach these Steemit poets a thing or two!! :)
Yes like you say it is true,
No one knows what it will do.
But I must agree with you,
I think I already want Hard Fork 22!!
Maybe if everyone only posts in poetic form, Hard Fork 22 will get here REAL fast! ; )
I see that Hard Fork 22 is already here, lol. That's what our poetry can do! :D
Of course! Yes we are that good!!!
I love the heron shot. I am not sure it would be very peaceful or restful to be on one leg like that, but, then again, I'm no bird.
You really need to enter @quillfires poetry contest! I had no idea your tongue was so guilded? I mean, honestly, who knew??
Lovely shots for a #MonochromeMonday!

@dswigle,
The Ol' Guy makes it sound so easy, doesn't he? :-)
Quill
Pffft you aught to see me rap!
@old-guy-photos,
I would open an account at tipu and give Denise a run for her money.
Quill
Lolz I dont know, she is pretty experienced.
Hehe!!! Yes, he is quite the poet laureate.
Like Clint said, a man has got to know his limitations.
I am no poet and I sure as heck know it!
But I am never against throwing a rhyme,
Given the right place and time.
Good Gawd I think I must have a fever!
Stop it already! Feels kind of heady - truth be told
Am I right?
I'm sure you are proud, although you're not Loud
Otherwise you' de be batting left-handed
Leaving me stranded
On the base with no hit
Let's stop while we are slightly ahead
Instead
I always say, no one can work the words better than you!
Absolutely. Sorry I didn't get a poem in, I really wanted to. I worked more than I should have and had a dental procedure done today that was more hours than I thought possible.
So, my life is not my own.
Then, lets talk about how I didn't finish MarketFriday posts. Oh, Quill @quillfire, I don't even need an excuse. It has been a hazmat kind of week.
Sorry!!! Do another! No pot roast! LOL

These are nice shots of this bird. I think the monochrome with the blow out background worked well.

Agreed. I think that salvaged that shot from the trash bin to usable.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Some great photos, nice work! The picture of the raptor turned out really cool with the all white background.
Yeah I was very happy with how it worked!
I adore that shot, the first heron. Stalwart, undaunted, solid. very good.
Well thanks so much for a nice comment!
