I like your shadows and all of your quotes are winners. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the Woody Allen, it awakens the weird sense of humor I inherited from my Dad.

Lovely, vibrant colors, one and all.

The quotes by Woody Allen and Will Rogers gave me a good chuckle. =)

These are gorgeous! I adore the colours! And that Woody Allen quote is a riot! He's such a funny guy! Happy New Year to you Diane!

love how wonderfully seasonal these are - spring and summer are great, but seeing the fantastic colours of the changing leaves makes me miss fall again.

Beautiful color and my favorite photos are those of light and shadow upon foliage.
