From the Back

VJUncategorizedback, black and white, Cee's photo challenge, photos15 Comments

Cee challenges us the week to consider our subjects, in black and white, from the back. I find the pattern of a bird’s feathers is highlighted from behind.

Caught these two riders as they road past in Arizona.

Can’t get enough of these two lovelies. Had to include their sweet backs.

In German there is a saying: “Auch ein Rücken kann entzücken.” I just found this translation on line: “A beautiful rear can also endear.” 😊

LOVE these! The birds feathers are glorious, even in black and white; and the girls–arm around a sister, such companionable love ❤ And the riders–very nice also! 🙂
