Before I get started with work in the morning, I drag Lola to the coffee shop for an iced latte and then we go for a good “wee!” at the park. The park in our neighborhood is aptly named “Happy Hollow,” as it is kind of carved into a hill and blanketed with trees. The light is always beautiful but this morning the sun was poking earnestly through the tree tops.
I thought the black & white “film” on my Hipstamatic iPhone camera really picked up the contrast beautifully… even if Lola ends up looking a little creepy!
your turn!

I am really liking the fun summer we scout Wednesdays. The only thing I realized on 3 weeks until school starts. I can’t decide if I am happy or sad.
Thanks.

So many ways to interpret a summer in black and white. Can’t wait to read how everyone “sees” summer this way.
Oh, and the last photo in your post is a beauty.
My first We Scout Wednesday and I love it.
Great challenge Tara!
I always enjoy your blog, but especially loved this we scout wednesday – it inspired me to convert an image to black and white.
(I also love your last image!)
I’ve posted mine to flickr – http://www.flickr.com/photos/sloanesiklos/4904663980/ . Now off to check out everyone else!
Great photos Tara, which app did you use to edit these?
Love black and whites…I think it makes you really focus on the subject and love the idea of summer pics in b & w!
Oh, so much fun! So much fun! I was just going to post a picture, but then had thoughts of so many fun memories from summers past, that I had to post a little about those, too. Gotta love summer! I am always so sad when it ends. Except that I love Christmas, so the sadness doesn’t last too long
Thanks for this suggestion! I love the nostalgic feel a monochrome photo has.
Such a great theme! I took my photos with Hipstamatic, too! I’m so addicted to that darn app!
I wish summer would stick around just a bit longer…it doesn’t seem like there was enough time

This is the summer I learned how to shoot pictures in manual. I had fun post-processing a shot for this!

Awesome! Today was a challenging one for me, so I took the color out of the flowers
Thanks for challenging me!
Love the photos with the baby! Excellent!

The timing of this assignment couldn’t be better- summer is when my little three by sea takes our family vacation…truly my favorite time of the year.
This was fun! I’ve never done the We Scout Wednesday.
I posted mine on my Flickr.
