IF SHADOWS COULD TALK
If shadows could talk,
Just what would they say?
If you listen close,
You’ll hear them, you may.
Shadows do chatter
And gossip and talk
In the store windows,
Along the sidewalk,
Over the mountains,
On prairie and plain,
Begging for sunshine
And not days of rain;
Emboldened by light,
The stark shadows say:
“We’re out for a lark,
Please join us at play!”

Thank you Magical Mystical Teacher for sending me your poem as a comment under Shadow Shots Sunday! You inspired me to match it up with some pictures I had taken during the last year or so. Some are were taken on the McKenzie River, others on the North Fork of the Willamette River. The one of Tommy and the orb was taken in our front yard last June, the night before Grandma Pearl's funeral.
When you guys get the chance, please check out MMT's website. As always, you can click on any photo to enlarge it. Also, I am adding this on to Outdoor Wednesday, and they have lots of beautiful outdoor photos over there, at: A Southern Daydreamer
Have a blessed and wonderful day!
Don't miss out on the news ... please click here to go to my home page and see what is happening in Mayberry today.

When we ponder the fact that many of the trees in our side of the U.S. are hundreds of years old,(many were sprouts before Columbus was even born) then talking shadows could reveal a lot of history's mysteries !
This is just an amazing post, Kathy! Stunning beauty.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Beautiful photos!
Kathy, you said that so perfectly, I added onto the post!
Hi Sheila, thank you so much. This is one of my personal all time favorites.
Hi Becky, thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed them!
Hi Kathy, I am now a new follower of your blog, thanks to Homemaker on a Dime! I am excited to look around some more.
I love the poem and the pictures of all the beautiful trees. It's refreshing to see other than the leafless trees in Idaho right now. (which are beautiful in their own right) Green trees just seem so far away
Hi Court,
Thank you so much for stopping by and following me. I have been trying to use some of my summer and/or green pics lately ... I'm getting tired of winter already.
I'm on my way to your place right now!
Kathy
Gorgeous poem and photos.
Hi Donnie, thank you so much. I love the trees and the rivers/creeks. Especially the McKenzie River. God bless and I appreciate you stopping by!
