I took an old post, and turned into a B&W for the challenge. So this is my Friday foofy, and my next challenge entry.

You have plenty of time to get your B&W's ready for the challenge.

Thank you for commenting, today is Black Friday here in the states,(shopping deals for Christmas) and I'm not going anywhere! We don't exchange gifts anymore, and after spending 2 hours in line at a Best Buy several years ago for a camera, that my friends husband did not really like, and he ended up buying something bigger, and better, I thought to myself enough of this crap! Lol! We weaved through every isle from the back of the store to the front, I knew every item they had in stock. :)

If your one of the Black Friday shoppers, I hope you were able to get what you wanted.

Thank you for commenting.

I have just got back from the shopping mall Sandi. A lady had misplaced/lost her parking ticket and her car had blocked the exit! I couldn't back out also! So I am staying home this weekend :) Nice entry for the B/W challenge.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I'm with you Sandi - I avoid the stores on Black Friday like the plague! I was out this morning however, at my favorite Xmas tree lot/garden center to take some shots - I like how the shiny texture of the poppy comes through in this - a terrific entry.

I dislike shopping in general. Luckily nothing like Black Friday shopping here LOL Smiling at Raj's comment too - poor guy to have "lost" the car this way LOL
Was also thinking about one of my poppies and BWC. And I am most happy that it was only loose thinking. Yours looks so beautiful that nothing beats it. HOWGH.

---So this is my Friday foofy, and my next challenge entry---

Perfect find, Sandi. So let's call it a CF²&B&WCI (Combined Foofy Friday and Black and White Challenge Image). A very appropriate one for Black Friday, lol.
I was just kidding. I'm serious now when I say that this is a wonderful posting wich creates a special mood. Well done.

Regards, Cornelius.

Sandi, you have achieved the highest accolade available for an image on this site... a "Wow, this is fantastic!" from Mrs b. I bow to you as you are honoured.

ps. Even though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here, many American businesses such as Amazon and Asda (a large supermarket chain owned by Wal-Mart) have started Black Friday deals here. There are news reports of fights at some supermarkets!

Your Black Friday gift certainly left it's mark. I wonder how the young chap that made CNN news made out. He camped out for 9 days leading up to today.
Like what you did with this. Perchance, would this be from Clarity?

A fantastic presentation of this lovely bloom Sandi. Nice details, textures and lighting in the photo. I don't have the stomach for the bloodsport you folks call Black Friday.
