Shadows

No blipping for the last couple of days - too much stress and not enough time for cameras and fun! But today the sun has returned so to celebrate I blew off everything I was supposed to do this morning - I didn't really need much encouragement as I wasn't much in the mood - and took my DLSR to the park for a long walk. And I'm so glad I did - what a beautiful morning! The daffodils are beginning to show, there are signs of growth at the rose gardens, there were dogs running around everywhere and a lovely little grey squirrel even sat on the branch of his tree and politely posed for me - pity I forgot to take along some nuts for his breakfast!

Maybe it's my mood - or more likely my obsession with trees - but this shot is my favourite from the morning. I like the treeline standing against the sky but it was the shadows on the grass that caught my attention - somehow they give it more depth.



Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
