I haven't seen this here, although it may have been done. How about a picture theme. My Shadow Poem lyrics of My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson. From Child's Garden of Verses I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-- Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all. He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close behind me, he's a coward you can see; I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

No offense, but like someone else said in another thread, that second one looks like you're watering the rocks. clown.gif

I've used this one as one of my random avatars for a while. Also used for the icon that appears in the url field.

The earth's shadow dropped lower and lower in the atmosphere. Finally, it reached the top of Glacier Peak. The precip that had kept me home for a week, had also given GP a fresh whitewash.

Del Campo, Foggy Gap, and the towers of Gothic were pretty clearly represented at sundown.
