Friday's Shadows on the Creek

                               Friday morning after the storm, the creek went down and by noon 
the sun was out with shadows stretching all across the yard. 
I just  had to stop packing up the car for Buddy's 10K in Richmond to take these pictures. 
I will put up some great race pictures this week. They are a hoot!





"Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, 
the light and dark which that thing provides."

    I'm a big fan of sharply cut tree branch shadows like yours.

    These are lovely Blue Ridge shadows - given these serene views, I cannot imagine a creek overflowing to any great degree. Yet, nature's fure makes a lot of things happen we might never imagine...all I see here on this non-stormy day is a bucolic and beautiful place!

    Genie I like the way you are experimenting with your shots. Practice makes perfect.

    Love the shadows of those trees! Soon they'll be covered in leaves!
    Great quote at the end.

    Wow! That's quite a mass of long shadow lines from the boughs of the trees! Interesting photos!

    I love it when we are out driving and see things we otherwise would never see. Soon buds n leaves will live in those shadows once again. Nice photos.

    I love your yard-you can tell it is very special-especially when everything is leafed out and green. Glad you stopped to get the captures!
