I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Happy blogoversary!
Nice moody shadow shot and loved your haiku.
Yes, I love your great, moody shadow shot and your words as well!
Hello, great shadow shots..thank you for sharing..have a fab day :) cya MonikaRose
That's a lovely indoor shadow. At first glance it looked like a little black mouse peeking up from the bottom corner! I really need to wear my glasses but it's kind of fun not seeing so clearly :)
I know these shadows,
familiar as my own face,
peering back at me.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Please stop by and say hello, and check out my shadow shot!
