  5. If I were asked to count all the shadows in this photo, I would say, "Impossible task!" You dazzle me with shadows, Genie!

    I LOVE MY SHADOW

    I love my shadow,
    My shadow loves me;
    We chat together
    And don’t disagree!

    My shadow and I
    Prefer not to shout
    As we go walking
    And rambling about.

    My shadow’s so wise,
    I ask what she thinks;
    She’s happy to share,
    And then nods and winks.

    My shadow and I
    Are best buds, you see;
    That’s why we try hard
    To always agree!

  7. What a great capture! I love when a photo tells a story and this one is a wonderful story of discovery. Sweet composition.

    BTW: Thanks for the superb compliment on framing my leaf photo. You made my day.
    And...you are certainly free to copy and print out that photo for yourself! My gift to you. :-)

  13. Nicely captured, a real treasure.

    I though of you and Bud yesterday. I took a back road through Port Clinton, PA and was pleasantly surprised when I saw a sign for the Appalachian Trail.

  15. A delightful capture of a girl engrossed in her own world. The monochrome puts the attention right on her own attentions.

    Take care of your knee and keep in good spirits, Genie. Hopefully any small run of bad luck has now run its course.

  17. Hi Genie, thanks for your passionate comments on my blog, Clarence Valley Today.
    I want to support the comments you made about remembering WW1.
    I take a school group of 17/18 yr olds every two years to the Western Front on a pilgrimage. We visit many cemeteries including German ones.
    We always visit Meuse-Argonne, the American cemetery outside Verdun.
    It is the largest American War Cemetery on foreign soil, over 10,000 burials, but has never been visited by a President, they prefer to visit WW2 cemeteries in Normandy.
    Maybe this will change with the coming centenery.
    America played a vital role in the ending of WW1 and many lives were lost. It should not be forgotten.

  21. What an adorable post! The patterns in the sand are spectacular in black and white and the little girl (your granddaughter?) is precious, so intent on the sandcrab. Makes me happy just to look.
