seven day photo challenge: day 1

7dayphotochallenge1web

Standing outside the group of photographers who have joined Judy Dykstra-Brown’s Seven Day Photo Challenge., I humbly asked Emilio, “May I play?”

So with the joy of being welcomed and knowing how I also feel uncomfortable imposing upon others, I will extend the invitation to those who let me know they would like to join.  The rules to this challenge is:  “The challenge is one black and white photo from your own life each day for seven days. No people depicted, no words of explanation. Invite one other person to join each day.”

black and white sunday: timeless

The depth of the hearts

Of humankind cannot be known.

But in my birthplace

The plum blossoms smell the same

As in the years gone by.

~Ki no Tsurayuki*
