Dawn
The shadow of the clematis alba vine on the baby pink leaf of the caladium was something that caught my eye a few days ago. Even though the picture doesn’t do full justice to what I saw I decide to post this picture here.
The caladiums have started to wake up from their long winter sleep. The huge leaves come out first then the smaller leaves. Together they put on a pretty show until December. However, I love the light and shadow show these two plants put up each morning as they catch the morning light.
The shimmering wing of damselfly or dragon fly in the sun, the refection of light in the water as it moves, the droplets of dew or rain water on leaves and flowers, light and shadows in the garden all these cast a magical spell.
So much happens around us in fleeting moments of greatness all the time. Do we even notice them and appreciate the beauty of them all?

I was now able to see the red sunset. It was for a while as I tossed out the garbage. I was glad as a little kid to enjoy candy. In order not to have a problem with the police, I took a picture with my phone and got home.
Smart thing to do, I am like you I get so excited to see a beautiful sunset or a scenery.
Absolutely, life is all about the little things. Nice shadows here.
I know You also believe in this, thanks for stopping by Carol.
i wonder sometimes about my own ability to see details. I find myself noticing things as though the first time I had seen them, and then realizing I had passed the thing 100 times before.
The detail is the friend of complacency.
Most often we do miss the details, at times too many details don’t help us at all. Yet it is these that make up the whole and contribute to the beauty of the thing.
the old adage missing the forest for the trees shows the other side of the discussion. We hyper-focus on detail and miss beauty.
Or we focus ever on the beauty and then miss the details.
That is so true. Either way we miss something. But it is important to see what we need to see.
What do you think of the photo itself?
my apologies, you inspired the creative side of my brain and I forgot to compliment your creative endeavor
(i guess I missed a detail).
I love the shadows in the picture through the leaves!
LOL I wasn’t fishing for compliments , but I sincerely wanted to know if people like it as much as I do. I like this kind of photography but I am not sure many like it.
well you caught one, i got trapped in the detail of a poetic reply and forget the detail of the beautify of the picture!
Thank you so much. This one made me laugh out loud. 😀
glad i could provide a laugh!
