               I've made a new blogger connection in these past months and her name is Beverley.  She writes at Bunny's Girl, is doing the SOLS here, so you may know her.  When you visit her site, you will see that she's so creative.  She not only writes, now during the SOLS challenge, but also creates artist's cards, collages, and messes with something called 'cells'.  If you'll look at her past posts, occasionally you'll see that she participates in something called Shadow Shot Sunday.  I don't do that, but have loved seeing the photos that Beverley has shared.  

               It was a beautiful day yesterday, sunny two days after the snow.  Some bare ground, but mostly still snow covered.  I took a few photos to share too, and wrote a poem. Enjoy, and thanks to Beverley for the inspiration.

I like the way the shadows move,

and sit and watch the sun inform

from dawn until the eve

that which we should perceive.

In mornings our day stretches out

like pulling strands of yarn.

Then shadows disappear at noon.

We say “Oh no, too soon!”

In afternoon, the arc has moved.

Elongation is the goal.

Opposing morn; the lengthening slow.

Where do the shadows go?
