Photo Challenge: Monochrome

This week, the good people of WordPress issued a "monochrome" photo challenge. OK. I'm in.Here's the cream-on-cream sleeve of a wedding dress decorated entirely in sea shells. Not that that would be too heavy to move in or impossible to sit in. You can feast your eyes on this baby at the Peabody Museum in Salem, MA, when you're in that town and need a break from the witch business.Next, we have the gentle golden glow of lights in a grape-cluster chandelier. I want one of these in my house soooo bad. See them for yourself at Dr. Frank's winery in Keuka Lake. (And plus, there's wine!)In the right light, battleships look more blue than grey. Welcome to the USS North Carolina, docked in Wilmington, NC. And by "right light", I mean, against a blue-blue sky.The Buffalo Valley Rail Trail boasts all manner of flora, which crumbles into funky shapes of brown and grey when the seasons change. Behold a desiccated milkweed pod.And today, right outside my front door, I noticed a funky little leaf curling in upon itself, tucked in among the rhododendron bush.There's my monochromatic photos. I hope you enjoyed, and maybe even decide to play along (if you haven't already, of course). Thanks for dropping by!See the rest of the monochrome photos on the WordPress Daily Post page.
