I am liking the fun I'm having with the light and shadows for this challenge. I may NOT quit when it's over. Hah! I'd also like to dedicate this one to my 365er friend, Melissa @melissapike because she actually invited me to do a little cameo performance and "rock my rake" with their fabulous band! LOL! Won't happen but, it's such a fun thought! I have four rakes I rock while doing yard work. This one being the "base" for those big wide sweeps. I love the old rock 'n roll, too! Try rockin' your own rake to this favorite old tune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUHMrGx_jG0
I really like the perspective of this shot, well done!
