Black & White Center of a Hellebore

I like this photo of a Hellebore Pistol changed into Black & White for a natural Abstract for AT. Thanks, Ingeborg, for hosting. See the extra for the colored version of the original photo. I am delighted that the Hellebores survived the pile of snow over them for several days. 

I am home alone. Ellie is home with her Grandmother and Grandfather and my husband went to the beach. I like having the house all to myself, once in a while, but I don't want it full-time.
