We went a little later for our walk today, so the sun was well up in the sky and very bright. I have always been interested in shadows; they come in different colors and "thicknesses" depending on the light that is casting the shadow.
This is a crape myrtle tree in the strip between street and sidewalk. It is one of the few really healthy ones left from those that were originally planted some 50 years ago. Many were taken out because they were in an inconvenient spot or the homeowner didn't like them. Ours lost a limb that was ripped off by a big truck, so it is a little lopsided and anyway not as large as this one. I love the bark, or lack thereof, and the soft lavendar blossoms in the summer. It makes a lovely shadow, I think.
Of course, KoKo and I also cast a shadow. Not nearly as interesting as a tree, though!

I like shadows, too (but really love the light coming through leaves). That's a nice classic tree shape.
