http://www.kkhphotos.com/p814202572 A collection of black and white photos from shades of gray to high contrast.<br/> <br/> <br/>Simple Black and White <br/> <br/>We remember when our world was white <br/>With lightning streaks in sight of black, <br/>And not a host of grays to track, <br/>To muddle-up our days. <br/>Nostalgia makes our memories dearer; <br/>Nights seem brighter; days seem clearer. <br/>We remember times “back then” <br/>When life was simply living; <br/>Life was loving, working, giving - <br/>Play by day and pray by night, <br/>When wrong was wrong and right was right. <br/>We see the black each time <br/>We remember when our world was white. <br/> <br/>I once knew the way of simple black and white <br/>But now without the gray the contrast is too bright <br/>Almost cartoonish, edges stark - <br/>The white too light, the black too dark. <br/>I need some shades of gray to soften <br/>Like the halos seen so often <br/>‘Round the once hard edges auras <br/>Make a slight off-white distortion <br/>This my part of marbled portion <br/>Round the black a charcoal hue <br/>Can blend the soot – so black it’s blue <br/>Gray adds luster to my life <br/>Once I quit recalling simple black and white. <br/> <br/>By Susan R Holmes <br/>23 Dec 2009 en-us (C) KKH Photos kkhphotos@rocketmail.com (KKH Photos) Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT Black & White Artistic http://www.kkhphotos.com/img/s2/v59/p979505801-10.jpg http://www.kkhphotos.com/p814202572 120 80 http://www.kkhphotos.com/p814202572/e2FA5AA34

]]>This old out house sits on the side of a steep hill behind the scout cabin. When we were scout leaders the kids would tell each other scary stories about the old out house, one even had something to do with a grizzly bear! The other leaders, who had lived in the area when they were kids, would tell stories about climbing down the hill in the dark to use the out house way back when it was the only "plumbing" the cabin had. It made for some fun sleepovers.
