From color to monochrome


Since my last picture was full of color, I'd like to share one that's decidedly devoid of it.

The question is, what is this?

  1. A sponge? The ocean?

    I give up.

    I'm here from Michele's and I'm saying hello.

  2. The face of the moon.

    Well, my latest post is on the moon, so this reminds me of that!

    :)

    If it's not the moon, then perhaps its a monochromatic close-up of a fleece throw.

    ???

  6. Ahh, wow. Well, having destroyed many a Nerf Football in my day I'm going to guess -- the inner recesses of a squishy ball.

  7. Looks like snow to me, Carmi. Maybe it's because I've been overcome with it lately. Putting this Texas girl in Ohio for a winter makes everything look like snow!

  8. A chain smoker's bronchial tubes? A forgotten sock I used to clean up spilled mik? A close up of Dr. Phil's moustache?

  9. I was thinking of dryer lint, or freezer frost. Hiya Carmi!

  10. Hi, the 'next blog' thing works wonders. Anyway, I think it's either real snow, or fake snow, the kind you sprinkle around everything at this time of year to give it a 'natural' feel.

  11. Okay, Carmi, time to tell us what it is!


    Michele sent me back.

  12. It's either snow, or you somehow took a picture of the stuff growing on the underside my furnace filter...

  13. Sure looks like a close up of snow to me, Carmi.

    Michele sent me to witness this photograpic marvel from you, Carmi. By the way, I love that one you took a few months ago of the autumn leaves. It's very pretty. We were at that stage of the season only a few weeks ago. There's still a lot of trees with leaves on here in NC. :-)

  14. A side of a snowbank, partly greyed by road sludge? Disturbed beach sand?

    Michele sent me.

  15. Whatever it is, it looks salty. Salt, saltwater, some kind of rock/mineral. I'm sure I'm gonna be surprised by the answer.

  16. Carmi - here via Michele's when I saw you on the boards :-)

    um - dunno what your photo is, I'm no good at those 'close-up' shots...

    But, as ever, happy to be here, dear :-)

  17. I'm loving the guesses so far, so I'm going to hold off until a little later today before I divulge the answer and upload my newest blog entry.

    If you're tired of guessing, I hope you'll scroll down a bit and peruse some of the older material on the blog. Enjoy!

  18. I think it's SLUSH. That icky, dark stuff that happens to snow that is run over by cars an inundated with salt. Am I right?

    Michele sent me....

  19. looks like snow! oh no...are you guys burried in snow?

  20. um...judging by your comment on Michele's - is it by any chance - snow??

    Michele sent me again :-)

  21. I hope you'll ALL accept my heartfelt thanks for taking a stab at my photographic guessing game.

    Congrats to the perceptive souls - Plain Jane beat 'em all - who said it was snow. It is a closeup of a snowbank immediately in front of my house. I severely underexposed the shot to give it the transitional-graying tone. I initially thought of giving up on it, but ultimately thought it was a cool perspective on something we may see everyday, but never really observe in a cohesive manner.

    I'll be posting my next one momentarily.

  22. tropical rain forest as seen from space?

  23. Well, I said slush and that's simply snow in the past tense, right?

    Michele sent me.
