Photohunters: Black

This is another photohunters theme where the possible choices are endless. First, a Canada goose with a long black neck.

Reflections in the water which are black.

It's hard to shoot the sunset from my house once the trees leaf out because I end up with dense black silhouettes of the foliage.
Photobucket
I prefer the bare trees for shooting sunsets but in spite of all the black foliage, I liked these recent sunset shots.
Photobucket
Photohunters post their links at the Home of the Hunt beginning Saturday mornings.

And yes, The Man in Black is Johnny Cash! I figured you'd know that. :)

great selection, when the theme lends itself to wide interpretations the harder it seems to choose.

happy weekend.

Long necks are beautiful and sexy!

Excellent choices. I started out with several images but narrowed it to a single one. (oops - I tautologised)

Hello CarverFriend,

The silhouettes are really lovely! I happen to love the color black as I wear it every day.

I am a tri-color Beagle and a very good dog.

Love, EmmaDog

Marta said...

Excellent and diverse selection. I have similar challenge on sunsets from my house but your shots do capture the mood of the evening.

Funny because I almost used some of the same kinds of shots. Very well done and I like this take on the theme! Enjoy your weekend.

I kind of had to stop and take two or three looks at the goose

Really nice shots in this post. I also admired some of your earlier posts.

I live in Brookville, Ohio and am an old man at 75 and have been married to the same lady for 55 years. Got 5 adult children, and three are past 50.

I began taking photos in 1953 when I was in the service stationed in Japan. I have been at it ever since.

My problem with digital images is that I can take 100 to 500 in one sitting trying to get that perfect image of a bird doing something nobody else has ever seen before. I think I got at least one.

This one shows a young grackle being fed and the youngster is showing his teeth.

Go to My Birds Blog to see it.

Yes, I agree, the choices are endless this week. I love your choices, most especially the foliage at sunset. I really like the effect.

I love what you've done with the black theme. I find it very interesting that black is the photohunt theme for May 1st which begins Melanoma awareness month.
