It's that shadowy hour once again! Shadow Shot Sunday is hosted each week by Tracy at Hey Harriet! Click on the icon, sign up and start looking for shadows in your part of the world! Warning! it is addictive, but the most fun ever!
I really had to search and get creative this week -- no sun! But here is that Christmas cactus going nuts a month early even with watery light!
The sun came out for a few minutes right after a windy shower that tossed these maple leaves on the Irish Moss, they were so shiny and wet and they looked as though they were announcing Christmas!
The African Violet seemed to be happy with it's little sliver of sun!
And Sam the Man enjoying some colored sunlight!

My Christmas cactus has been blooming for 3 weeks now, I love it every year and can't wait for the blooms to arrive...have a wonderful day!!!
what a lovely Christmas catus indeed. it's blossoms are beautiful...
happy sss.
Sylvia..the leaves on the moss are inspired...Love that variety. We are going to be in the same boat lacking for sunny days... sigh... Thank you for visiting my woodpecker post.. Michelle
Wonderful set of shadow shots Sylvia, liked the leaves most...so creative of you. Have a nice weekend too.
you've been chasing sunshine this week - so glad you found some for these lovely shots!!
I also love the Christmas cactus. Mine is smaller, but blooming already. And it's not even Thanksgiving!
Those red maple leaves on the green moss are lovely.
It's a dog's (and cat's) life, isn't it?
Sylvia, you have so many wonderful indoor plants! Beautiful! I wish I had a green thumb and could grow some flowers indoors. All I have is a silk orchid plant on the coffee table.
I think I'll make the effort the next time I am at Home Depot.
The table setting is so nice. The shadows are nice, but the bit of sun upon the plant glows in the light, The artistry is in both darkness and light. Sam knows where to relax, and will not be deterred by the shadows - truly a dog's life!
Fun selection! I haven't played Shadow Shot yet, but I certainly can find tons of shadows here in sunny California. Thanks for visiting my Skywatch post. We got a bit of rain yesterday but it's blue skies again today!
You sure did do a good job. I love these photos. Well done my friend. And have a great weekend :)
Beautiful varied photos Sylvia.
I love the African Violet and the maple leaves. The leaves on both are so shiny.
I always look forward to your photos, Sylvia. The maple leaves and moss are just spectacular. And of course the Christmas cactus - oh, they all are!
love your shadowy shots...especially the wet red leaves on the green. my christmas cactus is starting to bloom also...
Sam in that rainbow light is so cute! Your flowers seem to do well even without much sun. You must have the green touch.
You may have had to work for it but you found your shadows. Leave it to the critters to find a bit of sun.
What beautiful shots - your plants are gorgeous! I do not have a greeen thumb!
Sam sure is enjoying his spot in the sun!
I'm with Sam the Man. That's the perfect way to spend Sunday morning!
I can see how full of flowers your november cactus is - mine has a few flowers. I love Sam :)
Your shadow photos are all lovely.
I love the huge complementary contrast between the maple leaves and the Irish Moss.
Have a beautiful weekend.
love your friend sleeping on the bed! Jane
The leaves are great, such a vibrant red! You did pretty well at finding shadows!
You always have a wonderful collection of shots, Sylvia. This week my favorite is of your furry little pal.
Be well, be happy...
I enclosed some warm southern sunshine. Take in small doses, its addicting.
I love the christmas colours in your maple leaves shot. All great shadow shots. Have a wonderful week :)
Sylvia, thanks for sharing such beautiful colors! Your shadows are always enchanting! :)
My cactus is doing its thing too...I am calling it a Thanksgiving Cactus!
Nice shots all! Gotta love it when we can get some shadows with the "shy sun" this time of year!

The maple - what a beautiful colour it is! The violets are pretty too - but I think young Sam is my fave! :) P.S. I love your recipe for lasagnia! :)
Those leaves are so shiny and bright-I can see what you mean about Christmas! I love the shotof your dog soaking up the sun on the bed too!
How adorable Sam is! My pooch is still curled up on the bed too! What a life they have! Love those shiny maple leaves! They look so Chrismassy :)
Oh! Those red leaves against the green grass is to die for! Beautiful! And I love the one of Sam napping on the bed...great light and a sweet moment.
Coloured sunlight and shadows is your thing. It highlights the important stuff so beautifully.
Gorgeous, all! My Christmas cactus usually wakes up in February, thanks for letting me enjoy yours in the meantime :)
Sam the Man snoozes
in a sliver of sunshine—
peaceful, contented.
lovely photos, your Christmas cactus is blooming beautifully and Sam looks adorable in the coloured sunlight...
I love the leaves on the moss!
Very beautiful post!
Nice shadow shots.
I especially like the maple leaf on moss.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
