Black Cat

Jude picked black as the November colour for her Life in Colour Challenge.

What better way to start black November than with Henry, the black cat in our life (who incidentally has draped himself over my arms while I am typing this, slowly numbing them)?

Here are some of the photos I took of Henry over time. He turned three in August. He wasn’t really planned for but he needed a home and he moved in.

Henry for Live in Colour in November

A grain of confusion

49 confusion 2 (640x480)

When I came across this field last summer, I was thoroughly confused.  The grain was black and I wondered if it was diseased and ruined, yet besides the black colour the grains looked healthy.

I was fascinated.

I asked a friend of mine who is a miller by profession and was told that it was emmer wheat, one of the oldest grains cultivated, and that this variety was called Persian black emmer wheat.  Confusion cleared up.

For A Photo a Week Photo challenge: state of confusion.  More confused photos (or photos by confused photographers) can be found here.
