Shadow Photo ~ I Love This.....

Photo Credit

On my walk with the dogs this morning, I saw this at my neighbor's house and I just had to take a photograph of it because I love the way it made a shadow on the sidewalk.....





How cool is that? I don't know if you can see the dragonfly on top of the house and in the shadow, but it just adds the perfect touch.

I LOVE Halloween and can't wait to add more photos from around

I was SHOCKED to find that a couple of them had escaped from Walmart yesterday and showed up at our Fourth of July festivities downtown... they scared the heck out of my poor puppies.







Hope you had a great
