Theme for March 2011 - It's Biblical!
Wow! This ought to be an interesting month! It seems the majority are looking forward to this challenge. It might sound difficult, but here is a tip if you're having photographer's block -- peruse the Concordance. It will give you a wealth of ideas. We may even learn a thing or two as we interpret all things Biblical!
Every Picture Tells a Story
No...not the album (what's an album) released by Rod Stewart in 1971. This is a story of high adventure. Our wildlife afficianados thought they spyed a Red Fox in their yard. The fox, however, rather than striking a pose, was quickly on the move. Was it a fox or wasn't it? Since there was snow on the ground they thought they would follow the tracks. They seemed to look like the tracks of a Red Fox. Where did they lead? They followed the tracks up to where they took this picture, which apparently is conclusive proof that this was, indeed, a Red Fox! You see.......the hair in the scat (had to look that word up) confirms their conclusion! Who knew?!

Spider In a Web
Perhaps not a winter spider, but definately a nice black and white photo!

To Crop or not to Crop
This picture was taken while waiting at a railroad crossing. I didn't have time to give much attention to the composition. I just snapped it before the gates went up. I like the original, but I also like the cropped photo.

Often a cropped photo can make a blah photo look much better. For an example of enhancing the composition by cropping, see "Crows on a Tree" earlier this month. I've added the original photo to the post.

Giant Chalk (I mean) BLACK Board!
This just in from our man about town. Pretty cool! I think it is safe to say it covers all the compulsory criteria for the month of February theme. What say you, Tom?

Don't Forget...
Be sure to click on the Suggested Themes page. If you have any suggestions, please email them to frabjousphoto@optonline.net. Also, if you have a preference for the April theme, let me know. Each month, I pick four randomly, but would rather get readers imput. Thanks for supporting Frabjous Photo. Hope all are enjoying it as much as I am.

Black & White Redux!
This contribution is from our follower who truly "thinks outside the box!" I leave you to his take on our theme for the month.....
"Black and White can refer to polarization. They are opposites of one another. I am simply using two similarly contrasting colors...:)"
Comments anyone???

It's Personal! OR Santisi Seafood Anyone?
This Black & White menu photo is personal. This restaurant in Maryland names each entree in the order of the reservations they receive each evening.

Mostly Black and White!
This scene pretty much sums up our winter. I think it is safe to say that Black and White are the colors of Winter 2011!

Another Black and White (Not the Cookie!)
Even though this was not taken this month, we had to put it in. It truly is the perfect, and dare I say, unadulterated shot representing the Black and White theme. This was taken in Kenya at the 2010 International Convention.

A Walk in Horse Country
While in Florida, Keith and I took a walk in horse country. He, obviously, not following in his father's footsteps, otherwise he would be riding a horse. He took these photos in my company, but I never picked up on the black and white theme until he sent the pictures to the blog. I really love how everyone sees things differently.

Crows on a Tree
Came out of a supermarket in Florida and right in the parking lot were these crows just hanging out in this tree. It didn't seem to bother them that I approached and took their picture with the camera in my phone.

Cookie Monster!
When I realized that the theme for February was going to be Black and White, this is the first thing I thought of. Looks like someone else did too!
