THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the 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)

Love the play of those shadows - quite fun!!
How clever, to see a game grid in those shadows. Very creative!
What a pretty shadow shot. Like the black tower in the back. Interesting about a black lighthouse. We have many here, but not black ones.
Happy SSS.
I always love these kinds of shadows! They're always interesting and different! I thought the black lighthouse was unusual, too! We also have lots of lighthouses, but I've never seen a black one!Great shot.
Happy SSS!

How about that! Our shots are 'twin shots'. Well, kinda...love yours!
What a fun tour...I love the pony, he looks like a little spit fire, just full of it, as does your cat. Shadow and your hubby appear to be fast friends...like he has a choice, we all know cats rule!
How interesting, a black light house, I wonder why, did they forget the stripes...ha...
Are your days getting longer and warmer...ours are certainly getting shorter and cooler, fall is definitely at our doorstep, cool nights make for easy sleeping, though they say we are going to have a very cold long winter...I feel it will be so.
Nature is throwing little hints at me in the wild things around me, they are squirreling food away and birds are flying South in big bunches, not a good sign this soon in the season...the dread is setting in, very depressing...as we struggle through another one...brrr...
But I'll be right there with you in spirit as your summer begins...send all the sunshine you can dear friend...I'm gonna need it!
Take care friend...all my best!

Very interesting shadows! In the second pic, the house appears to have eyebrows above the windows.
I love these style shadows and the blue sky sneaking in from the top corner of your first photo adds a lovely touch. A great shadow shot Gemma! A black lighthouse? I don't think I've ever seen a black one before? Alway discovering new cool things on my visits here :)
oh what a lovely almost abstract shadow shot!
Beautiful, and, yes, I like the abstract quality here. Sometime, do photograph the black lighthouse - I wonder why.
I LOVE all those lines!
I really want to visit a lighthouse someday. They seem mysterious. Cool shot!
Photos are fresh and i like the way you capture the shadow
