Puffball and Shadow

You see dandelion puffballs all the time, everywhere where there's soil and grass, but do you recall ever seeing their shadows?  I was lucky to have happened across one growing right at the edge of the road verge. 



And here you were thinking, weren't you, that I was going to go off on all sorts of philosophical tangents and expound on the inevitability of dualities and dichotomies in life and the universe -- like light and dark, yin and yang, body and soul, matter and spirit, inseparability of opposites, matter and antimatter pairings, nature and artifice, Siamese twins, two-facedness, complementariness, magnetic polarities, spacetime relativity, not to mention Jekyll-and-Hyde split personalities, and of course, honne vs tatemae in Japan.  Well, I didn't -- fooled ya!^
