Candleholder Shadows

Slivers of shadows
Like peelings from fruits of light
Juice for the senses

A Wild Thing said...: 'Peelings from fruits of light'...how cool is that.
Looking straight down from the top, I had no clue what it was, but looking at the shadow, I knew right away.

Isn't it wonderful how bits of shadow and light can pull such imagery from our eyes...but you need to have a wee bit o the magic in your soul to really reap it's rewards to the fullest...or an over active imagination...we are blessed aye...ha!

Have a wonderful week ahead my dear friend from across the sea...that sounds so far away...our soul light makes it nearer...my best to you and hubby!

Hugs!
