My shadow shot this week is of a family of swans. There is a mother swan and her five cygnets having a fine old time paddling about in one of the many ponds in Centennial park. The trees either side of the family are paper barks which absolutely love water and usually position themselves either next to a pond or lake or some sort of marshy area.
Shadow Shot Sunday is a terrific once-a-week meme set up by Tracy of Hey Harriet! You too can join in the fun! All you have to do is read the instructions here!
That's lovely!
My shadow, post, have a blessed Sunday!

Great ShadowShot! How I've missed seeing your lovely captures. Have a great weekend.
ps-Did you ever go over to visit Lulu, the lady who looks like a model for many of your paintings?? Her blog is Bogart Handsome Devil.

Swans are elegant birds, although I can't apply the same adjective to cygnets!
SHADOW DITTY
Shadows of onyx, shadows of grey,
Shadows to chase my doldrums away;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night,
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!
