forest trail
the dogs meet and part
with their shadows

Lovely poem and photos, Xenia. Shadows are intriguing – they can loom and they can enlighten. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Liesbet. Eivor was afraid of shadows when we first adopted him and now he trusts them for what they are. Hope you are keeping safe and well too and please give Maya a big pat from us all 🤗💖🐕 xxx

I really like this poem. It makes me think that Eivor and Pearl are playing with each other, and playing with each other’s shadows too. Looked like a nice sunny day in the woods. Hope you are well 🙂
