Shadow Shot Sunday!

Shadow hunters unite! Share the shadows you've discovered by joining Shadow Shot Sunday hosted by Hey Harriet! Click on her name to sign up and share your fun, lovely, whatever shadows with us!

We've had typical Seattle weather this week mostly gray and cloudy, so I had to go searching through my photos for some shots that I had taken earlier. We'll have sun next week and I hope to get some new ones!

 

These first two were taken at a park near the beach. It was a great day with sunshine, blue water, warm sand, green grass and lovely shadows!

 

And here Mojo and her friend, Izzie, enjoy a rest in the shade after one of their wild romps.

 

Always love the colored shadows, but this time I even managed to get the trees outside the window and the very tops of the evergreens at the back of the garage. They looked like pompoms!

Great collection of tree shadows...and I too am a sucker for the colored shadows.

blue glass one is my fav. I do take the sun we have here for granted.
And I will say that it never matters to me when your shot was taken! Since I have a penchant for shadows, some of my files go back a ways!

Gemma Wiseman said...

A most interesting collection of shadows! Especially love the dogs sheltering in the huge shadow of the tree!

So sorry you didn't have much sun last week. Luckily, you had some great shots in your archives. ;-)

Your shot of the blue bottle and its shadow is my favorite, along with the "fursons" shot. Hope you get some sunshine in your corner of the world soon! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. :D

Hey Harriet said...

These are lovely shadows. Lucky you had some shadow shots in the archives to dip into. Hope the weather improves for you this week. Bring on the sunshine! :)

lovely selection of shadows, the weather here is often dull too, makes SSS a little chanllenging, you're right!

Lovely shadows and I do always enjoy seeing your dogs! Hope you do get some sun next week!

Lilly said...

They are great shadows Sylvia. I bet you are on the lookout for them now. I adore coloured bottles - and this one is lovely. Coloured shadows - that is really lovely.

Lovely shadows! The dogs look so happy:) I love the colored one too!

MyMaracas said...

Nice, cool, summer shadows. I do love the pretty blue glass one.

CJ said...

Nice collection of shadows.

I also enjoyed the dog photos and the Judge Judy bit.

I, too, am a retired teacher. I haven't quite given up on travel yet. I'm planning a trip to Brazil next year. Luckily I have many friends there (used to live there) who are willing to house me for a few weeks, so transportation will be the big expense. That's expensive enough.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
