 went for a walk with tod on the firetrail ..

i had heard about Beata beatabg passing that morning .. and although i didnt know her very well .. the news affected me deeply .. partly because i could identify with her as i've been in those dark depths of depression myself ..

to take my mind off the sadness i decided to take pics of tod's shadow specifically for this challenge ..

in editing this i was very conscious of Beata .. and the pain she would have been navigating in her life ..
so it was interesting that during the edit the image morphed into something that .. in my mind .. seemed to mirror that darkness ..

i dont expect anything from this .. but that's ok ..
Beata's in my mind and that's what's important .. xx ..

Congrats, I would not have guessed this was Todd. Well done, all about the shadow.

Well, just for a chuckle to lighten the sombre story, I thought it was a donkey ..... ROFL.

But you expressed the sadness and drama really well

Nice one, Roz. This better do well. Turning that little guy into a specter of the Big Bad Wolf...
