Shadow Shot Sunday!


Time for Shadow Shot Sunday hosted by Tracy at Hey Harriet! Click on the icon, sign up and become addicted like the rest of us shadow hunters!!

We had sun this week, but it was also in the low 20s! The first two I spotted when I went out on our deck to break the ice on the dogs water bowl and I found this frosted shadow on the glass top of a table. It was so different and so lovely and I couldn't wait to get a shot, not knowing if it would photograph well or not. I think it did! Click on them to embiggen and see the patterns even better.





And, of course, a touch of color!



And ever alert Sam Schnauzer! And Mojo's feet, no shadow this time!



And who is that in the stairwell???

Great stairway shadow shot - strong!

I imagine that is is the intrepid photo artist hard at work chasing shadows. I think, anyway...Sam looks his canine self in his shadow. Always enjoy the glasswotk shadows, light, dark and color pleases the eye. The frosty tabletop is elegant looking in this frosty motif!

That table top looks amazing all covered with lovely snow crystals. It reminds me of lace.
I love the 'mystery shadow in the stairwell', Sylvia.
..hmmm that sounds like a good title for your next story.

Martha Z said...

The pattern on the table reminds me of a peacocks tail, or perhaps it was the blue shadow that did it. Wonderful shots.

Janie said...

The patterns on the deck table are fascinating. And that mystery lady in the stairwell is pretty cool, too.

EJ said...

My favorite is the blue shadow!

During winter, its good to look at pictures during summer

Jacqui said...

That icy table top is amazing -and what a dapper figure Sam cuts there. The mystery woman looks good too :) xx

Those ice shots are amazing, I probably would have slipped over in my desperation to find the camera quickly enough!

Beverley Baird said...

The table top patterns are amazing! Winter is definitely here!
I love the blue shadow - those shots of yours are great.

Cruel frost fingers
clawing at the tabletop—
who can make them stop?

Great Grandma Lin said...

fun shadows, today as been a gray day, no sun and that's unusual for us.

Elaine Yim said...

The crystal blue shadow shot is very well taken. I wish I can take such a fine photograph.

MonikaRose said...

Hello, I love your shadows this week. You are so graciously lucky to have snow and that table, wow, love the pattern. Also the blue vase is just gorgeous. Enjoy your day :) cya

Deb said...

Terrific table shots. That arctic blast (bbbbbrrrr) gave you some beauty.

Hey Harriet said...

Gorgeous patterns on the ice. And it's so pretty to look at it while the snow on your blog is falling across the images! The coloured shadow is just beautiful.

Your frosted shadow is intriguing! Like a detailed "pen and ink" etching in ice. Very beautiful! And love the luminous blue shadow of the vase!

Serendipity said...

Some great shadows here. The doggy shadow is brilliant!

Diane AZ said...

Wow Sylvia, the frost and blue shadows are fantastic but the dogs and the stairwell portrait are my favorites this week!

Dianne said...

ice makes the most wonderful patterns

even Sam's shadow is vigilant :)

dianasfaria.com said...

Sylvia, I like your self portrait shadow the best!

storyteller said...

Wonderful as always ... hard to choose a favorite but the shadow of Sam is pretty kewl as are the icy views. Loved your Pet Pride post (haven't played yet myself but hope to before the weekend ends) and your Evening Wisdom photos and quotes ... what AMAZINGLY beautiful views and wonderful thoughts you find to share ;-)
Hugs and blessings,

The frosted shadows on the glass are really cool. Winter does have presents for us.

Sarah said...

I love the ice pictures!

jlshall said...

Great shadow shots! I especially love the blue shadow of the blue vase, and the way the sun cuts it in half - very different.
Have a great week,

I like those ice ferns.

On the stair - the man who wasn't there.

Cheers!

What a pretty shadow indeed! I guess the 20 degrees can be welcomed if it leaves lovely frosty shadows :)
