Shadow Shot Sunday!

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we
think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Aesop

Shadow Shot Sunday!

Having a place to go - is a home.  Having someone to love - is a family.  Having both - is a blessing.  Donna Hedges
The family - that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape, nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to.  Dodie Smith
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.  Ogden Nash

I'm still enjoying looking through my files for shadow shots while I wait for the sun to return!  And it will! Just not as soon as I would like! Hope at least some of you are enjoying some sunshine and blue skies  and lots of shadows!!

Shadow Shot Sunday #2 - Magical Mystical Teacher + Chubskulit + Gemma Wiseman

I've been waiting to get a new battery for my camera and waiting for some sunshine, so it's been back to the files. I had to laugh when I found the second shot -- it's about the busiest shadow shot I've ever seen and I don't know how got so many in only one shot! Not the best quality, but fun!  Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!! Enjoy!

To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.
Mark Twain

What a man misses mostly in heaven is company.
Mark Twain

As a young boy, I didn't know a Republican from a Democrat, only in one way:
If some man or bunch of men rode up to the ranch to sit or stay all night,
and my Father set me to watching 'em all the time they was there -- what
they did and what they carried off -- I learned they were Republicans.

WILL ROGERS

When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure
sign you're getting old.

I thought the mallard duck here was the choir director for the flamingos and I was certain they were getting ready to perform, but I guess they were taking a break!


 Actions  speak louder than words but not nearly as often.  Mark Twain

Don't postpone joy until you have learned all of your lessons. Joy is your lesson.
Alan Cohen
And Joy is Everywhere;

It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
 Rabindranath Tagore
Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host
against difficulties.  Helen Keller
The key to life is imagination. If you don't have that, no matter what you
have, it's meaningless. If you do have imagination. you can make feast of
straw.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
