Weatherstripping Heart

A length of torn-up weatherstripping shared its heart and shadow with me.

The Ups and Downs of Shadows

 Looking Up, the shadow of a fly on a variegated willow leaf showed clearly against the sky ... 

Looking Down, a shadow heart appeared.

Tansy Flower Shadow Heart

Winter flowers are hard to find around here, so these leftover tansy flowers caught my eye.

As I focused on the plant, I noticed two hearts - a giant shadow heart, and a tiny shadow heart just below.

Blurry, feathery, shadowy heart

As I walked along in the woods, a little bird followed me ... flitting from tree to tree ... singing his little heart out. I finally saw him perched on a branch of an old tree, only to fly away the minute I clicked his picture.

I was about to delete the blurry shot, when I noticed the shadowy heart on his wing!

Dead Leaf After Rain

The rains came back yesterday - from a gentle mist to a pounding torrent.
We were shut inside, watching the puddles in the garden grow and spread.

Finally, right before sunset, a ray of light peeked through, and
for about 20 minutes, the sun shone brightly!

I grabbed my camera and ran outside.
A dying leaf, drenched with rain caught my eye ... silhouetted by the dying rays of the sun.

"Shadow Shot Sunday!" I cried, clicking away.

Then I looked at the shadows on the leaf. Right there, at the bottom ... do you see the shadow heart?

(If you have found a heart, be sure to link up with Guest Heart Thursday - the link is open from Thursday morning to Sunday night (US West Coast time) - We'd LOVE to see YOUR heart!)

Wall Shadow Heart - Shadow Shot Sunday

I wandered the abandoned church this morning,
Mothers Day ... and more.

I found this beautiful shadow heart
and thought of All Mothers.

Because we all have one,
Know one,
Are one.

Today's shadow heart is my entry to Shadow Shot Sunday.

Happy Mothers Day!!!
