Meadow fashion



a black moth-like bug with red polka dots

Well, black is definitely not my favourite colour - black, as the matter of fact, is the absence of colour - but seems I'm joining another project anyway.

Just have fun with the project. If you can do it, do it. If not, no worries.

(I should take my own advice, actually.)

I like this shot!

I love this moth! It looks like he got in the fingernail polish!

Welcome to Project Black. You did sign in, right? (You hadn't last time I checked.)

black is my second favorite (not a?) color - next to all shades of purple and violet and lavendar - so this shot really pleases me!!

Love the moth!

Black is only not a color when you're talking about light. When you're talking about paints, you get black when you mix every single other color together, and white is the absence of color.

And if I'm wrong, so be it. I still sound authoritative, or something. ;)

What an interesting little bugger!

I love this little polka dotted creature! What whimsy!...I'm constantly amazed at the colorations of so many creatures in this world...and sometimes the tiny ones are the most colorful of all.

What a great capture!
I can't believe I'm going to say this but this "bug" is cute!

Neat bug. Cool photo.

While not a fan of bugs, this one is so adorable. Sort of a reverse ladybug. Nice DOF and composition.

It is funny how perspective nad color changes things. That black moth next to the vivid purple...makes him look like a midnight blue to me. And I love his spots.

I like black, I like bugs..and I really like flowers. This photo is absolutely lovely.

thank you all for stopping by.

jfargo: well, we were taught white contains all colours and black is the absence thereof.
if you let a beam of light (which is definitely not black) through a prism, you get a rainbow. and if you put the colours of the rainbow in a circle and spin it fast, you come out with - white!
