This has been one of the worst years for drought and heat .. keeping my precious plants "green" and healthy has been such a chore .. I am very grateful to Husband and Number One Son for helping so much !
So I offer up my variegated Solomon's Seal as cool green relief with a touch a shadow play : )

Beautiful specimen here! It is great when the family helps out with our hobbies isn't it?
The Solomon's seal is lovely in that dappled light.
gorgeous Solomons Seal- crisp and beautiful photo.
Such a lovely plant and I'm so glad it has survived the heat and drought! A beautiful capture and a wonderful shadow shot for the day!! Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend!
The shadows are deep,the leaves are lush. My thanks to all who help with watering too!
Sibilant Shadows
Along with the protective shadows, this is a cool looking plant - the sun hasn't turned it yellow yet :)
The worst of summer is passing, relief at least in temperatures. I would prefer to not have a snowy winter, but if we do - perhaps the drought may be averted next year...
The light illumines the beautiful textures of the leaves and the shadows create a glorious contrast! Wonderful macro!
Joy, great photo as always!
Oh, that is beautiful! Lucky for us that you've all worked hard to keep this alive, and now we can enjoy the shadows :)

Dear Ralph .. I can't get to your shadow shot .. a error message says it is down, your blog I mean ?
I will put up with snow for the sake of the water table coming back up to almost normal again for next year .. we both agree on that one!!
