My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

With standby hosts: Desirae, Katerina, Suzanne, and myself, Toby! How very exciting it is to host this meme, one of my very favorites!

Everything seems blue and white

Good thing they're tied on!

All that's left now is for all of you to join along in the game! Just post something shadowy (and please link here when you do), and then sign up below! And don't forget to go and visit the other posts - it's fun to see shadows from all over the world!

Happy Sunday, everyone!
