Black&White Sunday: Renewal (Response to Guest Challenge)
After Michelle’s very inspiring post that covered all the main aspects of renewal available to human race to enjoy, I will let the voice of Nina Simone speak on the subject for me:
It’s a new life
Every Sunday I publish a photo challenge in black and white with a different theme. This week the theme “renewal” came from my guest that contributed with a very generous and beautifully illustrated post. Please read Michelle’s renewal and join us for this challenge.

Lost in Translation 
such a beautiful image, Paula. And the perfect song to go with it 🙂
I’m off to bed – I’m going on a dawn photo shoot tomorrow – perhaps I’ll come back with a renewal shot!

There’s a fascinating paradox here, Paula. You captured the bud in such fine and close-up detail that it takes it from the ordinary to the extraordinary. And so as well as wonder, it also suggests to me the mysteriousness of creativity and renewal. And Nina Simone too. What a woman she was. As a teenager, I saw her live in her latter years, in the very low-key, intimate setting of our Music Hall in Shrewsbury. What a privilege, eh.

You know how to read my photos 🙂 I am very grateful for that Tish. Yes, it was an unmatchable privilege to listen to Nina Simone alive especially in an intimate setting. Thank you for sharing 🙂 🙂

I’m fascinated by the word ‘renewal’, and when it deals with trees, flowers and buds I can’t resist photographing everything at my reach…
But I’ve never had such a result , believe me!
