Shadow Play

You dance across my wall in evening,
With strokes of light and shadow.
What pictures will you paint me now;
What games my lovely shadow?
Feathered dreams or Spirit Dove?
Sweet fairy tales, or Heaven's love?
Perhaps in whispers whimsy shines
A pixie, sprite or elf,
And maybe not, it might be dust
That blows across the shelf.

With the exception of some color thrown in for fun, this is sotw (straight off the wall).

This is very cool. Looks like a dove to me. Beautiful.

@edie I saw the dove too- which is what made grab my camera and take the shot before it disappeared.

[Yao RL]

I like its mystic feels and the charming poem.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@yaorenliu Thank you Yao- just in a poetic mood tonight I think!

[Nicole Campbell]

A wonderful flow of words, I liked it, and also the photo

[Henri Russell]

Lovely capture of the "dove" on the wall.

[Mrs. Smith]

Great idea! I like your straight off the wall comment. That's creative!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Lovely capture. I like to see the play of light and shadow on the walls on my house. I rarely get good shots of this though.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole- I was quite surprised when I saw it at dusk the other day.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@digitalrn Thank you Rick!
@henrir Thank you Henri!
@mrssmith203 Thank you Carla!
@daisy Thank you Kathryn!
@marysybel Thank you Mary! So good to see you here again! The blur is actually the movement of the shadow- not my doing. So how have you been?

[Laraine Kensicki]

good to have the camera at hand for just this reason - thanks for the inspired words you put with this unique and singular shot ~

[mary sybel evangelista]

@olivetreeann - they coined the term "creative blur" in one of Tom Ang's book, I did few pics like this specially with my action/movement/sport shots...this pic of yours is awesome! re. me and my family as well as with my teaching and my camera...I just couldn't squeeze my T.I.M.E.. miss U all guys!!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@marysybel family should always come first. Mine are grown and being unemployed I do have more time than most. So don't feel bad- you'll start up again when the time is right.
@eniaral Thanks Laraine! Just happened to see it at dusk the other day and immediately grabbed the camera. I've never seen the light do this before. Must be a summer thing because it doesn't happen in fall or winter- and I don't remember seeing it this Spring.

[Bev]

What a cool shot, Ann! :) Very abstract! Love it! Good job! And another great write up! :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! Seemed to be particularly creative last night. Tonight I'm just wiped out from the heat.
