This week's Sunday Stills Challenge is Black & White with a Twist. Ed said we could choose any two challenges we've done before and shoot them in B & W or in color and convert them to B & W. No photo that had been used before could be used for this challenge.
I chose “Macro” for my first photo challenge. This is a Hyalophora cecropia or Silkworm Moth (thanks to my blog friend, flowerweaver).
For the second challenge I chose “Animals of Husbandry”, of course. We had our llamas, sheep and angora goat sheared yesterday. This photo is of our gelding llama, Catlinite (looking like an alien) and our angora doe goat, Luna.
And just because I love these photo challenges, I decided to choose one more to see what I could come up with. And I chose “Action Shots”. These two rowdy fellas live not far from my home.
Check out Sunday Stills to see what other folks have come up with for this challenge.

Nice photos!
Not a Luna Moth, but a Cecropia Moth. If you want to see how cool they look as caterpillars, check out my photos on this old post on my blog:

Nice photos. Happy Mother's Day Lisa.
Really nice shots Lisa. The poor hair-less Llama cracks me up. :):)
WOW! Love the Moth, and the poor bald lama had me giggling..:-)
Great detail in all of those.
I especially like the last one (that's not Baby Doll?) Hope you had a happy mudder's day with your family! ;)
All the shots are wonderful I love the moth what great patterns it has.
Look at you posting pictures of your poor naked llama all over the internet! ;D
LOVE, LOVE the cecropia moth!
I hope you don't have a mirror near that Llama because he's going to be so TRAUMATIZED!
LOL
wonderful moth - I love moths, particularly their antennae. Life would be so interesting if we had cool long combs coming out of our head.
Okay, maybe not. :)
Love all these pictures, but the moth one was very striking especially!
Poor Catlinite!!!! I hope it grows us very quickly!
Wonderful photos. The moth is beautiful, such detail.
loved these shots... that moth...wow.
Great pics! The moth is fabulous.
Do you use the wool that you shear?
Great photos! I'm having camera envy! LOL
The moth photo is absolutely stunning!
I'm telling you...1950's New Mexico! Now you've just gotta believe!!!!
word verification - denesse
Wonder where's denephew?
snort!
Awesome moth!!!!!!! and the rest too...that poor llama! Put some clothes on that girl! LOL
Glad you had a good mothers day!
The detail on the moth is amazing! Well done! Love your submissions this week. :)
WOW! I totally love the moth picture!! The contrast in that is just amazing...I love it.
I like the other too - don't get me wrong, but that one just jumped off the screen for me.
OMG Cat looks soooo umm, different now that he's sheared!
Are you going to show pics of the whole gang with their new haircuts?
Great photos! Being an entomologist, I'm a little partial to the cercopia moth!
Love the Llama!!!
Love the moth! The black and white really makes it pop.
Awesome shots! My favorites are Baby Doll and the Cow, and then the Moth. The moth is so detailed. How did you get that close without it flying away?
CTG, Thanks. Yes, I do use their wool. I learned how to spin last year and I've been knitting for about 5 years now. It's still a learning process, but I enjoy it.
Lydia,
No, as I mentioned in my post, those are two FELLAS (boys...males), so that is not a photo of Baby Doll. And that 'COW' is not a cow, but rather a DONKEY. A male donkey, just like the paint horse in that photo. Both boys.
