Some shadows help you hide

and keep you from the world

whilst being in the shadow

makes you feel forgotten

or simply make you look cute.

In this the shadow caps the head

increases the internal severity whilst outside is a place for brevity

The shadow here just wrecks what may have been a good photo from the long ago past.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Koalas look so cuddly but best at a distance.

I think he was Noelle. Again today two paddle boards with dogs on board. One dog was wearing a flotation vest and as we watched it fell off the board. Zack didn’t look quite so longingly then.

Yes the shadows can let you get away with many things and at the very least keep you a little cool.
