Colour Black...

I thought that because we had completed the rainbow in Sister Sun's Monday feature, that that was it. So I was thrilled to see that we are continuing on and this week Evi 's focus is on black.
DH and I have quite a large collection of digital photos, as well as 'older' prints. Much is stored on the portable hard drive, especially our holiday shots which number in the thousands. yesterday I trawled through some holiday photos, looking for 'black' and had a wonderful time remembering people we met and places we saw. My mother had a great dislike of black clothing and 'after I left her control' I did buy/make a number of black garments, especially jumpers, jackets and skirts. She would regularly tell me that 'I shouldn't wear black' because her and Nanna (her mum) did not like it! lol
Over the years though I found that I had trouble distinguishing between black and the very dark navy blue. Many a time I picked up navy blue wool instead of the black or bought a navy blue tank top thinking it was black. People said that when I had my cataract operations that that would change...no it hasn't. But I live with it and check ball bands for the numbers.
So anyway here are my 'black' photos...
