Black & White Wednesday

Although most of the pics I post on here are of my kids, I do love landscape and architectural photography as well. This is a picture I took of the Palace of Versailles in France in 2008. The skies were so amazing on this trip and the photos I took were some of my all-time favorites. You can click here if you'd like to see more.

We are having Snow Day #2 today. We were so busy all day yesterday - sledding, baking, crafting - I'm not sure what we'll be doing today. I do know one thing... I think the snow is very pretty, but I am so ready for Spring!! Of course, I bet those that already had 36" out east are really looking forward to Spring. I can't even imagine that much snow - and it's still coming down!

Pop over to Lisa's blog to enjoy more B/W Wednesday.

Anyway, I digress! I love what you've done with this shot. C'est magnifique! Your talent is incredible. I so wish I lived close by and that you could tutor me.

Beautiful! The sky looks especially striking in black and white. When we were in France last summer, it was pretty overcast. I'm envious!

Love the photo! As for the snow *grin,* all total, it ended up being 46 inches in one week, about 58 inches in the past month. The mind boggles.
