Patti’s challenge is to show shadows and reflections in monochrome. You may be thinking that black and white are two colors. Patti did some research and explains that black and white photos are really different shades of gray so they are considered monochrome for this challenge.
Our last challenge was from Donna who asked us to show messages in our photography. In my response I asked for guesses on where we spent our vacation last week. Those of you who guessed Florida are exactly right! We were on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Crystal River to be exact. I took these first three images while we were there and converted them to monochrome for Patti’s challenge.

The rest of my images are from some of places we have wandered over the years.

Anne of Slow Shutter Speed has asked us to choose a lens and go for a walk.
I grabbed my camera and 18-55mm lens and went for for a walk on the nearly deserted beach at the North End of Tybee Island, Georgia. I managed to time my walk between rain showers on a dreary, overcast January Sunday afternoon.
Swim at your own risk!The jetty is uncovered at low tide.I spotted these shoes beside the boardwalk to the beach. I hope someone took them off to walk barefoot on the beach and picked them up on their way back.
I kept my shoes on for my walk. It was wonderful to walk on the sand and to hear the ocean waves. Any day at the beach is a good day.
I am grateful that in 2022 we were able to take not one but two fabulous cruises, enjoy a wonderful weekend with family attending our grandson’s high school graduation, and take a few short road trips. When we weren’t wandering we enjoyed being at home in Coastal Georgia.

Tina’s challenge is to include some of our favorite images of 2022. We can include images on any and all subjects that are personal favorites – BUT, they must have been created in 2022 AND must not have been previously published in response to a Lens-Artists Challenge!
Going through this years photos brought back many happy memories. The header image is from my favorite event of the year. The weekend of our grandson’s high school graduation in May was a wonderful, emotional, and happy family time. We are proud grandparents!
January started out with a fabulous Caribbean cruise. This photo reminds me of the tropical places we visited.

In March we spent a fun weekend in Athens, Georgia for Henry’s college fraternity reunion. Spring flowers were blooming as we walked around old campus. There is a tradition at Georgia to ring the Chapel Bell all night when the Georgia Bulldogs win a football game. The bell has rung 13 times so far this season.

We made several trips to our favorite place in middle Georgia this year. This white tail fawn was one of many young deer we saw.

For the second year in a row I celebrated my birthday with lunch at Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney World.

In August we cruised through Alaska and the inside passage. Here are two of my favorite wildlife images from the trip.
The waves were huge as we waited and watched to see where Hurricane Ian was going to land.
