Shadows In the Snow

Sunshine shows shadows Imprinted in the snow I saw the shadows Imprinted in the snow never seen before A tree with boughs Shadowed in the white snow Sitting in the snow Near the tall bare tree A cat sat in the snow Then the shadow changed Into mountains steeps With a view of water The waves moved to shore A girl sits watching Birds were seen flying The sky is clear blue She enjoys the scene The shadows were seen By the sunshine bright Shadows everywhere By Mother nature These were created By her handy work

I sometimes watch the shadows on the house across the street. They have ornaments out and as the sun passes in the afternoon different patterns appear on the house. Will have to look in the snow as we have a lot of that white stuff around. love phyl

Hello Phyllis, Sometimes the shadow shos a house with a face of a man. i In front of the man is a shape of a dog. Then suddenly the shadow changesto something else. Hugs.
