I began this blog in 2011 in an attempt to improve my photography and showcase all of California's 58 counties. I didn't quite make all of the 58, I missed three and I will try to rectify that in the coming year. I'm not sure how much I improved my photography because I always seemed to be in a rush. In 2012 I plan to take more time, perhaps not post every day (this is one thing I did accomplish in 2011). I also plan to expand beyond California and include images from other parts of Western United States. I will continue to include a map showing where I was when I took the picture. I will keep commentary to a minimum, long photo essays will continue to be at Martha's Musings.
Great Shadow Shot. Such rich colors and sharp contrast. Living in California may be a little like living in New York. People hear your state and immediately think big cities and high taxes. But there is such a treasure trove of beauty far, far away from the city. Cheers, Leah
This is just so pretty. T’is a shame it is going to be gone before you know it. The color, the shadows, the texture on the rock, and the way the stems curve make for such a lovely image. You composed this one beautifully. genie
Where is my shadow, I cannot find her anywhere, I'm so lonely without her here.
If the lighting's right, and I am out in the yard, I bet I'll see her again.
That will make me smile, My loneliness will end I'll be with my friend.

What a pretty picture,love the shadow on the stone!
I love finding the year's last blooms in unexpected places!
SHADOWY DELIGHT
Shadows above me, shadows below,
Shadows beside me, wherever I go;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night—
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!

Shadows here and shadows there
very pretty purple!
Such a terrific shadow shot, as always, Martha! I love the purple color and the crisp shadows! Hope you have a great weekend!

the purple is so lovely, so vivid
and the shadows are so strong

Beautifully captured shadows!
Shadow at my page, please come and see.
Beautiful shot. Great composition, color and texture.
I always loved the last "hangers-on". And a lovely shadow this one casts too!
