    Always love your wonderful, sunny, shadow shots, Diane!! They almost make up for the fact that we haven't had sun in days!! Have a great weekend!

    These are al wonderful desert shadows! The bird on top has a shadow that looks like a natural marking on this avian. The cactus and palm leave expansive shadows on the desert floor. The quail stands proud, as does his shadow. Nice captures, all!

    They're all great shadow shots, but I love that little finch with the red 'hair'!

    These are wonderful...I have a shadow shot in mind that I've tried several times to take. Haven't gotten one that quite conveys the feeling I want yet. You've inspired me to keep trying. :)
