Shadow Shot Sunday!


Join us for Shadow Shot Sunday and play with us in the sun and shadows! Click here to sign in and join the fun!
Also remember Earth Hour 2009! Kudos -- again -- to Australia for reminding us to take care of the Earth. Click here to watch a great video!

It's hard to find shadows with the shortage of sun these days -- I know spring is coming! But when???

I caught this as I was going downstairs to the basement. I got caught there last week myself!

Candles in my bedroom.

Plants in the kitchen.

And playing finger games when I could find nothing else to occupy me and I didn't want to leave the sunny kitchen.

I love the fingers!

You're right about having to go look for sunshine: our day here dawned beautifully, then a little while ago it snowed. SNOWED. I nearly cried, but came to you instead. You always cheer me up.

Thanks for the sunshiny photos and wise words today!

I have a hard time leaving my sunny spaces, even in the heat of the summer, neat shadows.

Indrani said...

The last shot is very creative!

Shannon said...

looks like you caught some great shadows lurking about there inside your house!

Deborah Godin said...

The sun finally came out here, if weakly. Your shadows are soft and pretty!

EG CameraGirl said...

Isn't it great when the sun finally shines? You have photographed some interesting shadows, Sylvia!

Being new to photography, I hadn't thought about taking shots of shadows...great idea!!!

Now I have to find some sun first...

I am lucky to have lots of sun here so lots of outdoor shadows to find! Your shots are very creative so well done for finding them all.

Very nice, Sylvia. I like playing finger games too, when I happen to catch sight of an opportunity.

The colours in your home are lovely, love the plants in the kitchen shot the best.

I love the way you framed/cropped these shots. The overall feel of all of these photos is quite dreamy,

BTW, thanks for posting the link to the Earth Hour 2009 video. I'd heard about it on another blog, but the link didn't give me much info. It's a great idea. Now, instead of my original plan of moping all night long, I'll at least make something good out of one hour!

Very cool shadows you captured, great work!

I like your candles and hand shadows.
That was some trip you had to take in your post below!

MyMaracas said...

Nice shadows! Love the finger puppet one, but my fave is the candles. I love the diagonal line of the sun spot there.

Unknown said...

What an interesting set of shadows! Glad there's plenty of sunshine at home.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

What a pretty staircase! We don't blame you - basking in the sun is a joy isn't it?!

Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said...

I've been tempted to do the finger shadows too! Glad you did and I love this series of shadows you posted.

Hey Harriet said...

These are a fun set of shadows. Great shadow/finger shot. I do that too! Have a great week, and I hope it's filled with lots of sun :)

ahab said...

Nice, domestic set of shadows, Sylvia. And I hope spring comes quickly for you -- it's finally here in my region.

Cindy said...

The fingers are really fun. Love the stairway,too.
Sun is in short supply, but coming in at very cool angles.

julie king said...

all lovely shadows and i particularly like the whimsical dancing finger shadows!

Raven said...

I love these. I think the first and last are my favorites. Spring IS coming, it IS coming... I know it is...

Carin said...

Love the row of candles and your hand looks scary! LOL

Wear Your Wild said...

I love every one of them!

raf said...

Like your blog itself, Sylvia, your shadow shots are warm and inviting. Fear not though, we are gaining on better spring weather, but that always includes some rainy, cloudy days here in our neck of the woods. Your raindrops on branches today are dazzling jewels of nature. Thank you!

Fun shadow shots:) I like how graceful you hand looks!
