I am glad you are back; I have missed you....From this post, do we need to take it that you are still resting.....

Love the shadows in these photographs...It's amazing even rocks bow to your camera lens....

These are lovely images. Being in the shadow isn't necessarily a pleasant thing (unless maybe we're talking about shade on a blistering hot day), but I love the effect here. Blessings to you as you continue to rest.

So fun to see shadows as subject, rather than something to be avoided in photography!

i love shadows on any and everything, this is so simple and so pretty, hope you are resting well.

Glenda said...

The unique rock seems to have a personality all its own! Rest - in life - can happen even in the shadowy times if the Lord is our Rock and Refuge.

I love the silly face I see in that stone. Did you see it? I wonder if I see silly because I love it so much?
