Shadow owes its birth to light
Friday, August 28, 2009
This is my first submission to the Shadow Gallery, a project I’ve been an admirer of for some time now. It’s run by the very talented Tracy of Hey Harriet and is open to anyone who would like to participate. The requisites to join are simple and can be read *HERE*.

Thank you so much Tracy... great fun!♥
