Deadly Shadows

Uploaded: April 15, 2008

Description

f5.6, ISO 200, 1/60, 1 Shoot Through Umbrella, Fadeless Paper as a backdrop, Bing Cherry.

You might be wondering why I titled this "Deadly Shadows". Well, it's simple: If I eat one bite of this cherry, I could die. I would go into Anaphylactic Shock & my heart would stop because I am that allergic to them.
(My husband loves them & I'm allergic to them. LOL Sometime's life is not fair!)

I also thought it quite ironic that this particular Cherry was shaped sort of like a Heart. ;)

My entry for the 101 Shadows theme.

Thank you Susie! Well, we found out when I was a kid (unfortunately the hard way), so I haven't had them since I was younger.

Yep, unfortunately I'm that allergic to them that I have a 30 second anaphylactic reaction. Same thing with bees.
Not to worry though, my epi pen is always handy! :) #5795776
