    Your post made me wonder where we would be without shadows...shadows help define things, etch them into our consciousness, give them substance, make them 3-dimensional.

    My fave is #3...so warm and inviting!

    Lovely photos. We have had rain and little sun. Freezing rain, too. Such is winter!

    I am flabbergasted by the hugeness of your Christmas Cactus Sylvia. And may I add that the 'new for me header' is fantastic.

    When the Christmas cactus bear flowers, I know that Jesus birth is on the way.

    I do love your shots today.

    TY for being there even just in words.

    Have a blessed day, Maam S...

    The header reminds me of Sinatra singing Come fly with me, let's fly away. Even if it is on the ground...The stemware makes for a delicate shadow, simple and elegant. The other glassare in its rainbow of colors is beautiful in shadowy style!

    'Happiness depends upon ourselves' - so true but why do we search it from other people, shopping, gaming etc.
    Have a good week Sylvia!
