Shadows
Carmi has chosen "Shadow" as the theme of this week's Thematic Photographic challenge. As always, he leaves the interpretation open to any of us who choose to play along.My camera took this photo, but my lovely daughter Amanda was the artist behind the lens. She captured this moment on a late October afternoon at Whitman Mission National Historic Site.
I loved it.
Yes, the shadows along the Oregon Trail captivated my imagination. But, not the castings from the setting sun.
Instead, I was there beneath the shadows of men and horses. I heard the echoes of children racing after wagon wheels. And, I felt the cool breeze through the hair of a pioneer woman as she shook it loose from a sweat soaked bonnet.
... westward HO!

I like your interpretation, too.
I like your tree eating kite, most of the time it is the other way round. I couldn't see the flier unless he/she is riding on that high kite.
The fence, did you know that is a 'free standing fence' as opposed to one with posts put into the ground. Since it zigzags along it will just stand up by itself.

I've been to The End of the Oregon trail, but I'd love to see the Whitman historical site some day!
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
thanks for your visit to It Strikes me Funny.
a few shadows go a long way. I can't figure out how a person shaped the third piece of wood from the bottom in the fence. cedar posts i understand, but crooked sticks that seem to have been milled have me wondering - why'd they do that?
cheers,

As far as the chemo goes, it's a monthly injection and usually only takes 15 minutes at most. Sometimes I have a friend come along, but usually I go get my shot and come straight home. (I like to get back in time to watch Perry Mason if I can!)
