Light and dark
Sometimes rain brings out a richness that’s too good to pass up. This is another photo I took in color but saw in black and white.
Drive-by Sunset
Someday I’ll force myself to actually stop, compose and take a proper photo of the sunsets on the hill. But this will have to do for now… (Holding my phone up to the car window and shooting through it) as I drive down the road. That being said, it still came out pretty well 🙂

Buds
Not much to say here. This was taken towards the end of a nice hike and I have to admit I saw this one in B&W. I did play around with the B&W hue adjustments in lightroom quite a bit on this one.
