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.

    Peonies are such gorgeous flowers...and how well you've doubled their beauty by including their shadows.

    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!)

    beautiful shadows...I miss roses so, this time of year while it is cold here in the northern hemisphere. Thank you for bringing a bit of summer to those of us in the darker season.
