White in black

White subjects were always tricky on the white STILL background. I tended to avoid them. I eventually developed some techniques that allowed me to capture most of the white subjects I wanted. But this new black background is tailor made for white subjects. My mind races with opportunity: trilliums, peonies, daisies, roses, (any white flowers!), eggs, feathers, shells, bones, mushrooms, even snow and ice! It makes one swoon. But for now, I present a humble circle of white hydrangea florets.

P.S. My Merlin App captured 26 birds this morning in the 10 minutes while I was making my morning tea! Do you use Merlin? I adore it.
