Phases of shadow

I noticed I my past few photos have been very dark toned lately, maybe for that reason that I've very long work days past one week due of ongoing critical issues. Actually I'm working at the moment too, for the same reason :(

However, I took this more light oriented shot from my backyard during my lunch break. I just love the play of shadows and light on the snow. Every one of those are unique and beautiful artwork of nature.
