Bones, Bed, Black & White

Thinking today about stark contrast, black and white.  I love how these found bones have bleached out white, white ~ but lots of black too.  Interesting how something so severe also encompasses the polar opposite, coming full circle and creating the whole.  Having begun there I collected other black and white images that moved me.

That bed, a cloud of white, white mantle and linen headboard against the midnight wall, it comes together as rich, lush and inviting.  Once more texture tells as much of the story as the line.
