Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun - Eva Perron..................
Worry gives a small thing a big shadow - Swedish proverb ............................
Take everything that’s bright and beautiful in you and introduce it to the shadow side of yourself… When you are able to say, ‘I am … my shadow as well as my light,’ the shadow’s power is put in service of the good. - Parker J. Palmer........................You can only come to the morning through the shadows. - J.R.R. Tolkien
A water bowl that we keep on the verandah for the birds. Not only is it surrounded by shadow patterns, but part of the reflection inside the bowl is a shadow.
When day awakens Water waits for sun's make-up And the shadows shine
DON'T FORGET! I am seeking and collecting shadow quotes. If you find a shadow quote, (or would like to create your own) include it in ANY of your SSS2 blog posts. (There is now a button for shadow quotes just beneath the header. This will be a database of shadow quotes, so you will see what has been collected.) Each time it is my turn to post on SSS2, I will include one of these quotes + a link to your blog post.
Gemma this is a great shadow shot .. I love using water for that extra edge on shadows it has so many different "takes" to it .. Water is the blood of the earth and it is precious, yet so giving! Joy
Your shadowy bird bath would be emptied by our Baby Rocket Dog in the blink of an eye! This shadow within the dish: is it birdie heads?? Liking Hootin Anni's Shakespeare quote too. Happy SSS Miss Gemma.

How nice for the birds! At our house, they prefer the dogs bowls filled with crunchies - which they like to share. :)
The birds can get a great look at themselves while having that drink. Nice big bird bowl!
Beautiful shadow shot!
That's too funny-birds drinking water out of a doggie dish! Ssssshh! Don't ell the birds...
Better not tell the dogs either!! Another wonderful shadow shot for the day, Gemma!!

a great two-fer! :)
I can imagine watching the birds splashing around in there. Nice!
I like how the shadow continues to flow into the water. Nice shot.
An intriguing little oracle.
Beautiful textures and light. Very magical-looking.
I especially love the shadow in the water dish! What a lovely summery shot ~ it's got us dreaming of the days ahead!
nice shadows :)
That image of steel shining, and the shadows both reflecting in the cool water bowl and along the deck...great composition.
PS...I see you used the quote I had...by the way, it's one of my favorites!!! Thanks for the link up too.
Great capture!
Great Shadow Shot, love the reflections too.
That's an interesting closeup shot you have there of your water bowl. Shadows can be found everywhere if one looks carefully. My shot is posted!
the shadow inside the bowl is especially pretty
Imaginative shadow shot, Gemma. You are a true artist.

Beautiful capture! Have a nice day!
It makes my imagination go somewhere else with the shadow shots here.
The shadows of simple things always intrigue me.
(Where is the linky thingy this morning? Seems to have vanished!)
Sorry to all! The InLinkz website is re-booting! Their Twitter says it will be up in 5 minutes! It's been half an hour already!
Pretty shot .. I love the shadows on the wood and the reflections in the water ... the contrast in textures adds to the composition...

Isn't it wonderful to find beauty in the mundane?
Nice to find shadows and reflections all at once!
