Shadow Shot Sunday!

Time to show your shadows all you shadow sleuths! Shadow Shot is hosted each week by Tracy at Hey Harriet! Click here to sign up and share your shadow shots!

Summer is over and here in the northwest we're seeing less sunshine so you do have to be ready to shoot when you catch a shadow.

Here is a leafy reminder of summer! Click on any of the shots to embiggen and see them better.



A last look at our deck furniture that will spend the winter in the garage!





We had some really brilliant sun for a few hours earlier this week and I found my favorite color shots were deeper and more colorful even than last week -- so of course, I had to include them!



And then I was surprised to find this golden splash on the wall in our living room and I caught a golden sunrise shadow this morning!

Beautiful, Sylvia. I am inspired. I will shoot in India since all the time we have the sun and shadows are always seen.

You are right, Lady? I love chasing the perfect one, well--- even not perfect as I have nice shots to participate. Am contented with mine.

Yours as fab as ever. Very well done.

Hugs to you on a Happy SSS

Your leaves and summer porch furniture are lovely, Sylvia. And I ALWAYS love the colored glass.

Aw, too bad summer is over and winter is coming. Of all the seasons, I love summer most. Winter in Hawaii means rain and lower temperatures. Hate it when it's 55 degrees inside the house and we have no heat.

Aaww, bye for now deck chairs! I'd much rather sit outside in the sun than curl up in front of the winter fire; this time of year often feels sad to me despite its beauty. Yet it's my favourite season too... odd?!

LOL

Loved the coloured one. And the dappled shade. Such a sweet reminder of spring/summer.

Lovely shadows all but my favorite today is the last one! Thanks for visiting mine at Sacred Ruminations. Have a wonderful weekend ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

The golden sunrise shadow made a great capture. Sad to see summer end, it seemed to pass so quickley.

That last photo reminds me of an Asian pen and ink painting. Lovely!

Tom Hilton said...

Nice--lovely light in that last one. And of course I'm always a sucker for the color shadows...

All the shots are wonderful. I laugh about the deck furniture..ours is already in the barn. Getting cool here and it is much too early. What a funny summer/fall we had and are having.
Maybe winter will be warmer..Ha! I should be so lucky.
Happy SSS.

I want to do what the cat is doing!!!
Love the houseplant shadow...

Mighty marvelous shots, Sylvia! Yes summer is over and probably a lot of opportunities for shadows! :)

Ralph said...

The translucent table top adds a bronze touch to the patio above. And I like the indoor plant, its shadow a cheeky and fun (of course, an indoor plant shadow will be the replacement leafy shadow for the outdoor one in the colder winter). The colorful bottles and jars leave a pleasant shadow. Wonderful takes on all!

Unknown said...

Fantastic! Keep those glass shadows coming. I love them!

Love,
Gina

Catherine said...

Margaret Gosden said...

The last one is so different and lovely, Silvia. What a great moment.

Carolyn Ford said...

Very nice collection of shadows! I like the dappled one! Beautiful deck shadows!

magiceye said...

loved the golden shadow!
superb!

Hey Harriet said...

Oooh that last one is very pretty! What a shame that your deck furniture will need to be stored away soon. Hope the cold temps don't get too extreme for you!

Gemma Wiseman said...

A beautiful collection of shadows! I especially love the glow of the shadow in the last photo!

Walking down the street,
I seek shady spots and rest
from the burning sun.

Looks like you had a sunny day on the sundeck.
Have a nice week!

These are wonderful shadows. The one of the plant on the wall is stunning!

Wonderful clear crisp shadows Sylvia; but that last golden capture is STUNNING!

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.
