One can find all sorts of interesting things in my garden. A few mornings ago I came across this saw. The shadows were so intriguing I took a picture of them.

Your garden does appear to be a cool place to discover interesting stuff! I love the old rusty saw and the awesome shadows! Hope you have a great week ahead Beth :)
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Hope the sun is shinning in your neck of the woods. We need some rain. Send your rain gods a message, please.
Wow I really love this not only is it a great shadow...but you know what a sucker I am for old rusty stuff. Great job Sissy Bea. Love you.
Those shadows are most definitely intriguing. It's almost as though they are about to go off on their own.
