Shadow Shot Sunday!

Shadow Shot Sunday is hosted by Hey Harriet and it will send you looking for lovely, magical shadows in the most unexpected places as well as the obvious! Join us and share the fun! Click here to sign up!



These are shadows on our deck steps that lead to the stepping stones surrounded by Irish Moss! It was a beautiful morning!



Lovely lavender shadows at the Lavender Festival that I visited on Sunday with friends. This chair was the perfect place to sit for a moment and enjoy the beauty.

 

And daisies! I love them! It was a great day!

Very interesting lines and angles between the steps and shadows.

One of the best things about the internet is seeing the world through another's eyes, you have displayed that hear so wonderfully! Although, I am sure not your intention, your images are lovely and so different from what is outside my window, so serene thought, I love it!

Step on a shadow
only if you dare, as you
make your way downstairs.

Love the stairs, but the shadows liik so substantial I think I'd want to hold the railing and step carefully!!

Darlene said...

The shadows on your deck stairs make a very interesting pattern.

The lavender chair is keeping with the theme and is very pretty.


Daisey's never tell. I call them happy flowers because that's the emotion they stir in me.

Nice shadows o the wooden walkway, Sylvia! Wish I had that lavender chair in my garden - I bet it looks wonderful where it is amongst the lavender though. ;-)

This is just an amazing moment of my SS ever if I have the moment to do so.

My Scratchy would be barking her head off at the other dogs and would probably be banned from the festivities...ahhh, to own a terrier!

Beautiful shots! What a lovely place to visit - the scent must have been intoxicating.
I like your stepping stones but the Irish moss looks so soft and inviting to walk on . . .

Warm wooden steps followed by cool moss, and shadows for dancing through. Please tell me you went down there barefoot.

Lovely!

GalleryJuana said...

I think I'd sit on those steps just to look at the irish moss. I'd love to see some lavender fields some day.

Mystic Meandering said...

I love the interlocking look of the shadows on the stairs - like an illusion...
