Microfiction Monday #56 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:

My big sister Wendy needs help in finding a lost shadow.
It's sunny!
Maybe I will find Peter Pan's shadow in the leaves beneath the trees?

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.
~ 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)

I love the notion of finding a lost shadow :)
What a rich fantasy to find the shadow and the picture is gorgeous.
Yes I can see Peter Pans shadow
I like this a lot for many reasons. Thank you, friend.
Liked it. Namaste from India!
a lovely tale you have woven and a wonderful photograph!
What a gorgeous idea. Well done.
I enjoyed your creative slant.
Oh, wonderful! I love the innocence and the whimsy of it, as well as the Peter Pan reference.
Shadows are so elusive!
that's a lot of shadows to go through! well done
Maybe she will - maybe the tree shadows are really the lost shadows of children... I like the idea of it. Nice MM!
Love the idea of a lost shadow and they can be elusive! A fun and whimsical take on the pic and you are always so clever with words!! Have a lovely week, Gemma!

those shadows can be so evasive ~ slippery little shapes ~
Great take ~ :) Lib x
I love the idea of Wendy's little sister finding Peter's lost shadow. Delightful, Gemma!

I really love the Peter Pan reference. Terrific!
Uh oh, I sense a lost child...she'll join the Lost Boys and P. Pan or Wendy will help her get home. I like it.
Very good. Clever of you to think of Peter Pan!
Have a great week.
That would be a great find! :O)
That should keep him busy for awhile! :) Very good!
Nice imaginings!
Peter always was a mischievous imp!
Um, someone should tell the girl that sunny days equal many shadows-LOL! I like the Peter Pan reference...
The picture certainly has a 'Peter Pan' quality....that never-growing-up feeling.
Wow--I hadn't thought about Peter and Wendy in ages! This was good...nice job.
Have a great week. Cheers!
Shadows are so important - ghosts don't leave them. Hope she finds it . . .
