Light and shadow

Outside Mission San Juan Capistrano, cactus plants grow against the mission wall. Bright sunlight created beautiful shadows which I incorporated into the compositions. And then inside the mission grounds, I liked the way bold shadows sliced across a warm yellow wall and added mystery to a deep-set window. ©Carol Leigh

Mission San Juan Capistrano

Here's part of my group at Mission San Juan Capistrano this past Saturday, patiently waiting for swallows to land on the mission walls. I didn't have the heart to tell them that that doesn't happen until March 19th... From left to right: Beverly Russell, Rich Baker, Terry Myers, and Mary Lange.

And then I offer you a close-up of a mission bench. ©Carol Leigh
