A new tennis ball, that squeaks! And my black one is on the left. Playing with friends.

Neighborhood cat. I was looking for another pic of a black cat I like....I searched my photos....I have 250 photos of cats!!! LOL

Took this last night.

A partially black bumblebee tucked in for the night in my hollyhocks.

Black onyx stone in my college ring.

my photo, but not my dog

Ted says "I love black tile, it's so "cool".

LOL,,,and you are very cool, too, Ted!!!!!!

Black squirrels are beautiful! We only have grey and red squirrels here. :p

I saw these black-bodied bees on my phlox yesterday morning so took photos to ID them. I think they're Carpenter Bees.

Rory...that tile is beautiful! Ted has a crazy hairdo....awesome dog!

Black lettering on this shirt....a remembrance of yesterday's beautiful day and a Walk for Juvenile Diabetes. All organized by a 17 year old girl. It was a huge success. I walked (rolled) with my insulin dependent daughter and husband.

If this lizard could talk…

WOW! The grass really is greener on the other side!

Lots of these little guys in the back patio area.

The grass is always greener, LOL. I wish we had more grey and red squirrels here - you can take our black ones.

I’d like to contribute our grey ones to anyone. They eat Dogwood blossom buds.

ugh! take all the grey and red ones you'd like! Red ones are destructive to houses and grey ones steal everything from my fruit trees. :(

A black cow at country fair.

My Black squirrel pic was taken in MI when I lived there. They are very bold and once

they get used to "you" living on "their" property, they will just continue along around

you. They weren't destructive there for me anyway....but there were several Oak trees near

by to please them. The deer were with the biggest problem...they ate my flowers

right down to the ground. I had a beautiful Yucca plant one day...fully grown and tall.

The next day it was about 2 inches. The greenhouse had assured me...deer don't really like Yuccas.

Yeah, right.

Don't get me started on deer!

This is Poco. #1 doggo in my household.

Black and white photo of our family dog from 55 years ago. Such a good boy.

My late Duchess, and Lizzie the cat.

Looking through my place and realizing i have nothing black. but i did find my plant stand.

Ear Gray (well, he’s gray-black) looking like a bread loaf

My sweet boy, Knight (a black Doberman) having breakfast with me this morning out in my walled garden.

Lynn, my family loves Dobermans. We had three ( one after another). Now my brother has a puppy, nine months old , also black!

Love all the photos. and just wish to say that is not a cow. That is a very nice black angus bull.

My trusty Filofax...

I seem to have a lot of black, I searched through my photos by color and these are my faves:

vestibule to MBR at right

Vintage silhouettes in guest BR

Shower doors and wallpaper in downstairs bath

ceramics I made in Japan

I love your ceramics, Kathsgrdn. What technique makes that pattern?

Mata Ortiz Vase by Oscar Quezada from northern Mexico, state of Chihuahua

My dog Olive had a big tumor which the vet told us was likely life-ending. After her surgery even the doc couldn't believe it was benign! So here she is post surgery with celebratory McDonalds.

Spent a night at this impeccably restored hotel in west TX on my way home from Santa Fe.

Ok, this is a little attenuated. : )

Our neighbors in Maine had a concert on the lawn for a fundraiser. DD2 wasn't interested, so I sent her a clandestine shot of the cute guy on the trombone (in black). Failed to mention he seemed to be the only member of the band not investigating Medicare supplement plans.

Here's a close up sorta and a wide shot.

PS This should be an easy week for me!

Half of my kitchen floor :D

My dining room chairs - chalk painted in black with a wax finish.

Black front door!

Black is my very least favorite color. I have next to none of it in my house. The exception being electronics because that's just how they come these days. :)

I chose a native American wedding vase that I got on a visit to Albequerque in 1981. I can't believe it's been 40 years!!! It's a piece made by Marie C. Pacheco, designed by Mr. Ramos of the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indians. I found a much smaller piece offered for sale right now for $175. Mine has a little chip (I have the piece) on the lip of one spout thanks to Rocket the cat knocking it to the floor!!! I really like this and it now sits safely behind glass doors.

Black commencement robes. Our oldest grandson received his diploma in mechanical engineering Saturday. And he has a job and will start in a couple of weeks. Yay!

Wooo hooo!

Mtn, that’s hilarious.

She hangs over my desk.

Love these threads. Thanks for starting them and for sharing photos. We had four black dogs (the hardest to get adopted at shelters) until a year ago when we lost the two older ones, so love seeing all of yours.

One of my favorite antique canes is the black dog.

Black ice cream in Japan.

P.s. if the ’cute guy’ is the one standing up that’s a trombone he's got.

i am late to the game-- but i can't let the opportunity pass to share my sweet Grace with all of you . Sadly she has passed due to an adrenal tumor.

Grace was a rescue-- a rottweiler/mastiff mix and quite the character. LOTS of personality -- sweet and gentle with others but loved to give me some attitude.. especially when I didn't go to bed when she was ready. She would huff and sigh and stomp her feet on the stairs lol. :)

Floral uk, yes of course it is! My bad.

There. fixed. : )
