These are my submissions for this challenge: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/inspiration/

The sources of my inspiration of course vary with the season and the location, but over time they tend to be mostly birds and flowers.

I took the following shot last month at my favorite location, the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. It was raining so I took the picture through the open car window and the rain.

Marsh Mallows which grow around marshlands and ponds are usually pink. Yesterday, at the Abbott Marhslands near Trenton, NJ, I saw several that were white with a faint hint of pink. Following are two versions of of one of these flowers, in color and monochrome. Which one do you prefer?
