Title: Live.

Journalling: While exploring Queanbeyan, we took a moment to admire our shadows... Isn't this what living is all about? To enjoy beauty, to breath, relax and smile...

Description: In the midst of rushing about town to get to rental done, we realised that the weather was glorious and cast amazing shadows by our feet. So out came the camera and the pics were the result of that beautiful day. Serves as a timely reminder to not rush through life, but live and enjoy every bit of it.
