    I love it, Carletta!! What a great shot and perfect shadow shot for the day! Yes, I wonder if he's visiting Jack and the Beanstalk, too! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy!

    The first thing I thought of before even seeing your title was, "Me and my shadow!" Cool shot!

    My son is sitting with me and he started shouting, "Mommy, look at that bug!!!" He loves it...as do I! You'll have to check out my latest post about the two really great bugs he found over the past couple of days!

    Great shadows! The last shadow almost looks like a cartoon, very cool.

    Do check out the book, B is for Bufflehead. The photos are beautiful, it would be a great ABC book for a child.

    The insect offers a shape of intricate detail, and wonderfully replicated in shadow. We have an aversion to bug it seems, almost finding no use at all for all of them.

    But when a beautiful capture like this appears, I think I may have to reassess the 'eww' factor about bugs and enjoy their unique beauty as you have captured...

    I am impressed with the vividness and clarity of these shots!

    I ONCE HAD A SHADOW

    I once had a shadow—or did she have me?
    My shadow and I could never agree.
    I would say something, she’d say the reverse;
    Our arguments flared, my lips I would purse,
    Refusing to speak to her anymore—
    So my shadow got up and marched out the door!
    I have not seen her from that day to this—
    That’s one stubborn shadow I surely don’t miss!

    Nice capture! I enlarged him and I feared he was going to jump through the screen and eat me. Thankfully he didn't!
