    One of my favorite black and white conversions ever!

    I like the new Linky but it was a bit difficult because it didn't offer the photo I wanted that was linked to my blog so I had to upload from my computer but had to first resize the photo because it was too large for Linky. Phew! Took me four tries but next week I'll be better prepared and have a smaller copy of my photo standing by. ;)
