I noticed this morning that some people have their photos up for the Shadow Shot Sunday meme. Like all memes with a particular day in the title, this one messes with different times zones around our glorious rotund globe. Not to worry, time is just some big ol' Buddhist joke anyway, I'm convinced!
I haven't participated in this "delightful" meme yet, and I probably won't get to it this weekend either, but I did give me the idea to post this photo from yesterday. It was gloomy snowy, sleety, rainy by turns all day until late in the afternoon. Then the sun broke through, and lo and behold - a shadow! Everyone was excited! I grabbed my camera; the birds all distributed themselves among the branches and even perched on my window sill to catch some of the welcome warmth. That's my old feeder hanging on the tree. I'm trying a different location and a different feeder this year, which explains the absence of footprints. Otherwise it would have looked more like the photo below, from last year: lots of tracks back and forth to the feeder. And one side trip just to look at the ice.
