It was warm when I was in NYC in September, and so I headed for Brooklyn’s botanical gardens to get away from the heat and the noise. It was everything I needed that morning; a shady oasis of beauty and tranquillity.

You are going have to wait though for the garden photographs as this morning I just have a boulder from the ice age to share. It, along with some Hudson Highland boulders, was chillin’ out in the rock garden. This is probably not the image you were expecting!

The theme is Shadows, and the tag is NovemberShadows.

In case anyone has missed it I am squaring daily and mostly focusing on dark shapes, silhouettes and reflective shadows but you don’t need to do the same. The dictionaries highlight that shadows can also be an illusory image, a remnant of a thing, an imitation, an inseparable companion and of course partial light. The frequency of your squares can be whatever suits you and your blog. The only thing you have to remember is to stay square with your November Shadows.

  11. That sounds like a very cool place to visit. I’m enjoying all your shadows. Your reflection shadows a couple of days ago were stunning. As always, this is a fun challenge. I’m posting mine tomorrow. Some of them got blurred by the caption. It’s a new feature of the gallery now. Have a wonderful rest of the month, Becky B. 🙂 xxxxx
