My daughter who works in Germany finally went home for a vacation after more than two years. Seeing her for the first time since she left for abroad made me suddenly realized how much I missed her.  She is the female version of myself and is my partner in crime, so to speak. She loves to eat as much as I do. She loves the sea just as I do. She was my jogging partner for years up till the time she left for Germany. It is a happy reunion so far. My wife and I are making the most of this time to revel in this feeling of togetherness, spending almost every minute together. We know her vacation is short and before we know it, we'll be waving goodbyes again at the airport.

But that's for another time, albeit fast approaching. Meanwhile, first things first. I mentioned earlier she's my jogging partner. So on her first morning here we went to jog. Just like old times. And as I also said before, "Once a SMASher, always a SMASher." We were accompanied by my other daughter and while I was taking photos of them, I noticed their shadows. SMASh mode activated! Here are some of the shots I took.

The last photo is my entry to this Round. I kind of like how the shadows on the jogging pathway of this park are emphasized. My daughters are at the far end.

Stay tuned for other SMASh offerings from my daughter's ongoing vacation here. Thanks to all our sponsors, delegators and supporters. Good luck to all the participants and may you all keep safe and healthy. Enjoy the rest of the week.
