Me and My Shadows in Hawaii
Dropping by with a few #November Shadow squares from our recent trip to Hawaii. I took a walk on the beach in Waikiki where the only shadow was mine, save for a few distant palm trees. I found more shadows at Ala Moana Beach… Continue Reading “Me and My Shadows in Hawaii”

It’s hard for me to tell which is which, but I think I found both – shadows and reflections – on yesterday’s walk in the woods. It was a new trail to us, a boardwalk, through a bog – West Hylebos Wetlands Park in… Continue Reading “Shadows and Reflections in the Woods”
