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

Shadowy Steps
Life in dappled worlds Stepping in light and shadow Chance and circumstance
Shadow quote from Seeds 4 Thoughts: There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors...it's an extraordinary subtle language.
Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.
~ Conrad Hall
I do love your dappled world and the steps through the light and shadows, Gemma! Delightful capture for the day as always! Hope your weekend is going well!
Gemma these are beautiful shadowy steps in an almost glowing atmosphere with the very soft light engulfing them .. so peaceful looking I would just like to sit there for a while to quietly think : ) Joy
Wooden steps with shadow paintings...

ReplyDeleteas are the dappled shadows
To me the shadows make me think it's nearing the end of the daylight...am I right? Or is it early in the morning?
