These are really wonderful, DK. The silhouettes are almost black but you can still make out a hint of some features, and the background is a gorgeous “good morning” colour. These photos would make a beautiful framed set of photos for the house.

I like the George Elliot words that Sawsan 🙂 has shared! ““Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,…” we were married in the Autumn – in October!!! We are looking forward to the cooler temps and beauty of Autumn…we’ve had a heat wave pretty much ALL Summer…btw your beautiful photos captured Life & Grace along the waters edge…
