Shadow Shot Sunday ~ Shadowshapes


Shyly she hides her face in shadow her beauty concealing,


While peonies bask in their glory and double their treasure.



They enlarge of course, just click.

Whip over to HEY HARRIET and join in the shadowy fun, a click
on the Logo lets you join in or just have a sticky beak.

  5. Ah, the warmth of summer (in Oz) allows the flowers to bloom and thrive. The sun is strong, the shadows stronger. The warm day is lovely, a day to savor (not quite up here where it is cold - yet the sight of a beautiful flower is warming to me!)
