5 DAY B&W PHOTO CHALLANGE ~ Day 1
Came to me via Bob Shannon, via Maria Insana Sharron with the caveat that I challenge another photographer in each day's post.
Good morning Kelley Shelton! Have you been brushing up on B&W? Interested?
BARN IN AFTERNOON LIGHT
is a piece I did last year but hadn't shown yet.

A New Jersey hiker killed by a bear in September took a series of photos of the animal with his cellphone before it mauled him to death.

Police in West Milford have released five photos taken by 22-year-old Darsh Patel before he was killed by the 300-pound black bear while hiking with four friends in the Apshawa Preserve, 45 miles northwest of New York.
The photos show the bear behind a fallen tree in the woods. Investigators say the phone was found with puncture marks from the bear.

NFLPA: Rice wins appeal, suspension vacated

This was Somday Rd which turns into Empire Creek Rd. That was the way to our property but this is the flat where I picture my many creatures. In fall the chief was alive when I left but has since gone to places only he knows.

NEW YORK  Ray Rice has won the appeal of his indefinite suspension by the NFL, the players' union said Friday.
NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah told The Associated Press in an email that "I can only confirm the suspension has been vacated, effective immediately."
The appeal was heard earlier this month by former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. She was deciding whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice's two-game suspension, making it indefinite after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching his fiancee- now his wife, Janay - became public.

The effort failed.

Dreaming of a white Black Friday?
You may be in luck.
An Arctic cold front steaming down from British Columbia will drop temperatures Friday night and Saturday and give us the possibility of some snow.
National Weather Service forecasters say there is a chance of less than a half inch in Seattle on Friday night and less than 1 inch Saturday before 11 a.m.
