    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.

    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.
