We're getting to that time of year when it's too hot to go out walking in the middle of the day. The daily walks are rescheduled to early morning. There are advantages, chiefly in the quality of the light. Sidelighting makes objects more substantial and modeled and reveals their texture. Shadows appear and make their own patterns.
Patterns with bonus patterns.
I have photographed this tree many times, but never its shadow.
And of course a self portrait. Artist in yellow hat.
