My dog Sam and my cat Pouncer sharing the same sunbeam. Now they are a contrast as their personalities are such that this sharing is a very rare occurrence.

I love this picture I took last year of a sunset off my patio. The bare trees are a sharp contrast against the beautiful fiery sunset.

My mother, who will be 85 this year. A woman of many contrasts. She can be the nicest person in the world. Just don’t dare cross her!  My mother and I have had our difficulties in the past, but she is the strongest woman I know as she has overcome so many things in her life. She is only 4’11, but she is a giant in personality.

  3. Nice images of contrast. All picture this in their very own way. I LOVE the sunset, it looks like a painting. You could let it be printed in oil on canvas and hang it up 🙂

  4. Your mother looks so young! 85? wow – I hope I have that sprightliness and ‘no-lines’ face when I’m 85 😀

    Your contrast shots are fabulous. Isn’t it amazing how a beam of sunlight can bring natural enemies together? 😉

    And ‘Mother Nature’s Art’ is brilliant. I thought it was a painting xxx

    1. Most of the women in my family age gracefully. But my mom is in a class of her own lol. thank you.

      Those two rarely get along, so it was a good shot in many different ways. 😉

      It was a beautiful shot, I got lucky with that sunset. The picture never fails to make me smile. xxx
