We've lived in our condo building since January 2020. That's a long time, but there's still things that surprise me.
This morning I was carrying some boxes from the second floor to my car in the basement. Coming down the flight of stairs from the second floor I caught a glimpse of this fascinating shadow:
The sun was coming through the window on the first floor landing on the east side of the building, and it's angle showcased the branches of the nearly-naked tree just outside the window. If I hadn't been looking for it I would have completely missed the beauty.

That is pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there are beehives on the tree.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. THAT would be creepy.
DeleteVery detailed shadows.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Art of light and shadows! A pretty one. You have eyes to find beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I try to practice being aware.
DeleteI'm impressed both by the shadow and by the quotation.
ReplyDeleteThe novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorites
DeleteIthink we all need to slow down and observe more. Isn't it amazing what those shadows spilled?
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing.
DeleteHow lovely to stop and be able to savor a sample of nature's beauty.
ReplyDeleteLovely spotting something new!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're surprised by new and beautiful sights frequently.
ReplyDeleteI try.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the sun plays across the walls in our house. Every room in the house gets sun at some time during the day so there is always something going on with shadows. You still have many months to discover what the sun does in your new place.
