Simply Sunday Shadow Shot 1/15

Welcome to another glorious day! The sun is shining so brightly you'd never know that it was really cold outside :-)

Remember last week I talked about taking pictures while walking through New York City, well the picture you see is one I took of a tree that I had passed a few times.  This tree was damaged during the unexpected snowstorm we had in October, and every time I pass this tree on my way to visit my dad I am drawn to it.  The only problem is that this is on a road with no shoulder and there always appears to be someone behind me when I drive by... I started unpacking my little camera before I left the house just in case I had an opportunity to catch a shot (didn't always remember, but I really tried).  So I tried for quite a while and even sometimes resorted to holding the camera and snapping shots as I drove by.... Finally, I had the perfect day... it was sunny and there was no one behind me, so I briefly stopped and snapped some shots... and this picture was born!

While I was preparing my picture I decided to play (thank you Picnik!!!), so here are some of the fun things I tried....

This week there was no quote posted this week so I selected one of mine from Abraham Lincoln (he is my favorite President - I know, he is the favorite of so many)...

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. - Abraham Lincoln

Thought it worked with the picture I had selected...

Here are the quotes for you to play with this week.... may Lincoln inspire you!
