SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 2: Knee-deep


taken in April
lone tree "knee-deep" in river
waiting for spring's leaves

sharing with
hosted this week by Gemma


 and with Rebecca's blissful
Haiku My Heart


Hoosier Quote:
“Any fool can destroy trees.  They cannot run away; and it they could, they would still be destroyed-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could got out of their dark hides.”
~John Muir~

Oh, my-I hope you're not too badly affected by those floods and rain (although it appears you might be). I hope you are well and that your house and home is also safe.

Love the telltale shadows of branches in the river. Hopefully the lone tree has its leaves by now. :-)

Let's hope Texas doesn't stay knee deep for long. No wonder it's the Lone Star State -- the rest of the stars drowned.

Such a gorgeous photo and a great haiku, I so love trees... amazing to see how some parts of the world have too much water and we are so thirsty here in California. Thank you Nonnie!

Lea, thank you- I wish that there were a way for me to box up clouds to send to those in need of rain.

no, Paula, this was after a hard rain in early spring.

Only the shadows add a happy look to the results of to much rain. A hope for drier skies by now is in order...

Beautiful root mandala. Looks like it's spread out on ice.

The tenacity of nature persists; casting a shadow no matter the surface. I need to think about that.
Thank you for sharing.
