Playgrounds wait patiently, quiet and still
Graceful waterfowl paddle along deserted waterways
Sunlit bucks guard their herds, scattered in darkness
In the early morning light, volcanoes contemplate the reflections of rushes

Perfect choices for monochrome Monday!
Excellent in B&W! Wonderful story to share.

So beautiful, Siobhan. Monochrome really creates a great, peaceful mood. The light is wonderful.
Thanks, Patti! As you know, morning light creates special scenes.
"Volcanoes contemplate..." That photo alone has reflection intertwined with its physical presence. Very nice Siobhan.
Glad you caught my little play on words, Donna! :D
Great minds think alike.
