“Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light…”
Joni Mitchell
Shadows add another dimension to the flat surface of photographs. I especially enjoy wavy shadows on water.
Shadows also add a sense of drama…
…and, as in the photo below of a Praying Mantis, shadows also can create the illusion of danger.
The length of shadows provides a clue to the time of day a photo was taken, as in the photo below of a long-legged Jello on our early morning walk!
Wishing everyone safe travels as we navigate outward once again. Please stay safe.
Thank you to Leya for another fun challenge!

I know it’s not a beauty competition but the Eagle and Jello are tops 😃
What a gorgeous collection, Lindy! Beautiful!
Wow. Great series and selections, each and every one. Excellent.
A great series, Lindy. We love the same things I think – and Jello of course. Love the dunes and the beach photos. Grasses are lovely. I think you are the first one to mention drama and the possibility of danger. I had some mentioning horror too.
Love the flat-footed eagle and the dowitchers!
Beautiful
