Sunbeams scamper amongst the leaves of trees where playful ebony shadows slip slide. And subject to the whim of every breeze, they scurry to find new places to hide. The ground is dappled with patches of light shapeshifting into mobile abstract art. And watching them dance is a pure delight, for nature knows how to tug at my heart. The effect is a magical display of shifting shadows tethered to the sun. And like a sophisticated ballet, they twirl, plié, sauté, and spin as one. Shadow and light flicker in perfect sync, on and off, in the time it takes to blink.
