Raven Ridge Gardens: Shadow Shot Sunday

Shadow Shot Sunday - Morning Sun and Shadow

A serendipitous shot, to be sure, as I was focused on the water droplets clinging to the rose leaf in early dawn shade and not to the rising sun and how it would light up the leaf in an instant, a stem casting a horizontal shadow from behind.

Visit Tracy at Hey Harriet this Sunday for intriguing shadow shots from around the globe.

I can feel the vibrancy of Stockholm through your photos!

SHADOW, BE TRUE

My shadow has come out to play.
Oh, shadow, please don’t run away!
Stay here by my side,
Pretend you’re my bride—
Be true to me now and alway!
