In Black...

This week in SSC:

Nature in B/W

The robins have been so active here lately. I watched this one fly in and out of the yard the other day collecting various insects for its babies.

And since this "Baby's" in black (and white) I chose this song for Sight and Sound:

The Beatles from their album "Beatles for Sale" (1964) U.K. or if you were in North America like I was you will remember it fondly from "Beatles '65."

Album: Baby's in Black

Live: Baby's in Black

Belle composition avec des contrastes bien gérés. J'aime le noir et blanc quand il préserve toutes les nuances et les détails.

HaarFager ^club

I was going to say, "Baby's In Black," when you first mentioned the phrase, sounded quite familiar. Being a big Beatles' fan myself, great choice of wording! The composition is spot on as is your bird's pose.

5 years ago.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to HaarFager ^club

I'm glad you appreciated the wording. I wondered if many people would get it, lol. It's such a great song and the history of it is interesting too.

Thanks, Kenny! :)

Herb Riddle ^club

A great mono capture that suits this fence too. As other have said here 'a mighty strange robin' (looking more like our garden blackbirds or a starling) but you must know best! Well done.

A belated HFF to you, with greetings, Herb

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

Thank you, Herb. The biggest difference (that you can't see here) is the color. Our robins are greyish brown with a bright red breast. :)

A lovely shot Karen - pin sharp detail and the black and white shows off the textures beautifully. Great song and I love the video.

Fantastic in monochrome. A real gem! An ace musical match for 'Sight and Sound', Karen. A great one by The Beatles!
