    Love how the light shines through the seashell. And you'll definitely have to share that christmas cactus when it blooms!

    Your cactus is ready to bloom - then the flowers will be brighter than the shadows...the translucent conch (or some other mollusk) shell is art all by itself. Your shadowy home is so inviting!

    I just love the two shadow shots, Sylvia but your header takes the cake today! It's brilliant! Thanks for your continued visits to my blog while I was "offline" due to bad Internet Connections. I'm back online again and visiting, commenting, posting daily and taking part in memes again. Whoohoo. Have a great day. Jo

    Happy Sunday, my friend. It is raining here so no shadows today, but your post has some beautiful ones. I always get excited when the they are colorful like these. That first shot is especially eye catching. There is something really dreamy about it. I think we have the same table and chairs...we have 4 stairs with the green backs and the round table which can be enlarged to make it an oval. genie
