Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #70: Monochrome – Color
For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #70, Patti is inviting us to explore the world of monochrome–which includes black and white and sepia, as well as different shades of one color.
In this post, I include the roses, plums and apples from my garden. The roses show different shades from buds to full blossom. They also show different shades when reflecting the intensity of sunlight throughout the day. There are two photos of green apples and plums before ripening and one photo of the ripe plums.

Miriam, beautiful photos bringing the roses and plums straight into my home! Stunning colours, shades, Rich, vibrant, exotic even! They took on a life of their own through your lens!

Thank you, Annika. Exactly, they took on a life of their own through the lens. More often than not, they don’t turn out true to the original colors due to the light and time of the day. Of course, I take a lot of photos in hope of some would surprise me!

Thank you, Olga! I’m glad you liked the lemon yellow rose. I started out with all pink or red roses. I gradually added yellow and other colors. ❤

Ha ha. That’s why B&W is ‘nostalgic’ for us, I guess.

I know, John. The earliest B&W I have are the ones when I was in first grade. Some school outing photos. They helped me to remember those days.

Thank you, Frances. I’m glad you liked the photos. I took 25 years to add some flowers and trees each year. Now I have no more room to add anymore. It’s okay that I just maintain what I have. 🙂

I think I get what you mean, we also have some fruit trees, herbs and flowers but our yard is really small. So the trees are all cramped in our small space. We have cacao, jackfruit, guava, custard apple and papaya trees and also a guyabano tree that is still growing.
I enjoyed looking at the photos of your lovely garden =)

Wow, you have many lovely fruit trees, Frances. You must live in a warm climate area to grow those trees. It took years for my fruit trees to mature. The apple tree is still growing.
What do you do with the ripe fruits?

Thank you, Miriam. We have a tropical climate here in the Philippines so we can grow those trees.
Last year, we had a good crop of cacao that we planned to make chocolate with but we didn’t really know how to yet and everyone was too busy with work so it was regrettably a fail. For the other ripe fruits, we make preserves =)

You’re welcome, Frances. I went to Philippines once 40+ years ago for a concert performance. I don’t quite remember what it was like because we were not there sightseeing.
I imagine that you can grow many fruit trees in a tropical climate. Making preserves is a good way to go. We do it here in the US also. 🙂
