giveaway celebration and crocus blooming shadows

taken last week when the sun finally made its appearance, this is my one faithful purple crocus that comes back every year without fail. please visit hey harriet's shadow shot sunday if you'd like to see more shadows or if you'd like to add your own. and thank you tracy for hosting too!
& please don't forget to enter my blogoversary giveaway by leaving a comment on yesterdays long island daily photo post. the prize is a sheet of stamps from my zazzle gift shoppe (over on the sidebar there) and five greeting cards of your choosing from any of the photos on my site. the winner will be announced after midnight monday. good luck everyone!
lastly, I would like to thank everyone for all of your kind wishes and congratulations yesterday!
