My great grandmother. I love this photo of her. They were well to do, I think you can tell from the photo she was a gentlewoman.

This was my second choice for the black and white challenge.

Flip flops

 Or, as we call them in New Zealand, jandals.

A pair for indoors and a pair for the yard. Can you tell which pair is which? 😄 I bought two pair for around $7 several years ago.

Animal, insect

And I've added in some birds.

Sassy, she's about 8 but thinks she's a puppy. 

A good guard dog though.

A grasshopper on a leaf.

 Look at those beautiful, transparent wings.
