without color
contrasting strands of baskets play a major role
and lesser-known vessels of silver shine
in black and white
a bowl of miso soup reveals a cryptic message
and two tacos grin with a knowing smile
without color
chairs stoically bear the burden of a spring snow
and rejoice under a refreshing downpour of rain

Thank you, Ritva! Yes, that one fit the theme perfectly.
Terrific Siobhan. The soup is so creative and I loved the snowy chairs
Thanks, Tina! I didn't notice the details in the soup until I changed it to monochrome. The chairs looked great with a little snow. :)
Siobhan, love the basket and the message in the miso! The textures are foremost in black-and-white!
Thank you, John! You never know where you'll find interesting textures and hidden messages.
