Pine Cone shadows

Another photo from our hike last weekend. A pine cone embraced by the grass and sporting triangular shadows.

This macro pine cone is stunning! I see a mountain range here. Perhaps with snowy sides. Such neat detail, I would never have guessed but for the large (in scale) blade of grass. So cool!

What a great shot J?

I am sorry to say, that I was too busy last week, reason I didn't come to visit you.

End of the month? As a banker, it is a nightmare for everyone. Hope it is quite this week, but I doubt it.

Enjoy the w/end.

Hugs,

Your photo puts me right into the heart of the pine cone!

EVERYWHERE SHADOWS

Shadows above and shadows below,
Shadows that blaze and shadows that glow;
Shadows outside and shadows indoors,
Shadows on trees and shadows on floors;
Everywhere shadows calling my name,
Everywhere shadows no one can tame.

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
