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

Wintry Shadows by the Sea
Wintry shadows on London Bridge Ocean Beach at the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula
The sands may be chilled But a glimmer of sunlight Invites wanderers
Shadow quote on chubskulit's Etcetera Etcetera: Do we not all spend the greater part of our lives under the shadow of an event that has not yet come to pass.
- Maurice Maeterlinck
It seems to be chilly as the sweaters and sweatshirts seem to suggest. But, barefoot in the sand is wonderful even if it is now the cool/cold season. Nice simple shadows!
Gemma soon we will transition to Fall and winter while you will have moved into Spring and summer .. how funny is life? .. it doesn't matter the weather .. add kids to a beach and it is heaven to them ! LOL Joy
Wintry? for me it's Finnish summery shot! :)
