Dappled

Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday #35

Dappled hints of light
Balanced wisps of fantasy
Almost a real deer

Sweet Repose said...: Boy I'm late getting to everyone, but Dad and I have been thawing out my frozen pipes...hence the poem. We've had record cold this year and arctic winds so the ground was frozen down 4 feet. No water or bathroom facilities...argh...but I love your little fawn hiding in the shadow, I've seen many like this on my walks in the meadows.

Have a wonderful week friend!

Frosty the Snow-woman...it was wind-chill of 32 below zero that day, I never wear a scarf over my face, but you couldn't breath...brrr...byebye...s; January 18, 2009 9:48 AM

Gallery Juana said...: Love the contrast of light and shadow. I think if the deer had no horns, she could easily be a cat basking in your garden.; January 18, 2009 10:30 PM
