Shadow Shot Sunday #67

Squiggly shadow shapes
Waiting for the flesh of Spring
Gaunt hunger and thirst

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)

Lovely shot, Gemma! Our fall is approaching and I'll soon be looking at bare trees, but it has been a lovely summer!
Have a great day!
Sylvia
Thank you for the sunshine...keep um coming...I'll be requesting them frequently from you dear friend.
Right now our weather is perfect 70 degrees n sunny, no rain in sight, not too hot, not to cold, the nights are perfect for sleeping and dreaming...what more could a gal ask for...besides an ocean view.
Keep watchin the waves and get a whiff of that wonderful salt air for me...and I'll keep dreaming of living in warmer climes...
Have a wonderful week sister, give a big hug to your lil' Shadow Goddess for me...see ya...s
Nice tree shadows falling on such lovely green grass! And I love the addition of the special guest shadow appearance from that little bird! Oh I'm so excited about spring arriving! Actually here in Brisbane it seems like spring arrived about 3 weeks ago! Yay!
What a pretty spring shadow! We have to say, though, that we're a bit jealous that you are heading toward a srping and summer as we head into fall & winter!
Enjoy your weekend!
I love tree shadows, and that is a particularly pretty one. The bird adds a wonderful spark of life to the photo, too.
Lucky you, with spring coming.
lovely tree and bird shadows,
That tree still looks very bare, I love the nearly Spring sunlight and the shadows it gives. Just now I noticed the birds after reading the above comment. LOL.
Have a great week!
