Front Porch

 Front porch shadows

Yesterday was a rare sunny day ripe for shadows.  Actually, I was driving down a country road looking for interesting shadows on snow.  Then I saw these! How could I NOT stop?

 Unfortunately the porch had pillars holding up the roof so finding a good angle - from the road - was tricky.

    Benches sometimes cast the most interesting shadows.

    I like all three, number 1 is my favorite... we have so many beautiful shadows today, the sun is BACK and I sat watching them in the back yard while we ate lunch... sunshine makes everything look better

    You absolutely could not not stop. I mean, really, you were shadowing shadows. And only the Shadow knows! Or something like that.

    Re your poem. It is really cute and is somewhat familiar - I think I may have heard it in my childhood but my memory ain't what it used to be. Nothing else is, either, but we're talking about memory. Jeez!

    nonetheless, you found interesting shadows from this lovely bench. I like especially the curved arms that give the bench such a graceful look.

    I wonder if they call that a mission bench because of the sides? It casts wonderful shadows.
