Shadow Shot Sunday!

Oh, I did miss being able to
play with all of you shadow sleuths last week, but my computer had a serious virus and I had to wait until my computer guru got back into town to fix it up! But I'm back today and can't wait to see what great shadow shots you have. For those of you who don't know about Shadow Shot, it is hosted each week by Tracy at Hey Harriet, click on the icon, sign up and start looking for shadows! One warning! It is addictive!!

You wouldn't know it by looking out my window right now, but we had gorgeous, sunny days last week and these are some of the shots I got!

This lovely goose couple were enjoying being back in the states!!



Such beautiful sunshine, trees leafing out, flowers and lovely shadows!



And back at home it was fun to be able to sit in the sun and read!



Couldn't believe that my colored vase was wearing glasses, too!!



Even the blender was tossing off a shadow!!

A good book at hand,
glasses to make the words clear—

The geese are protective parents as they look for a suitable nesting site, the shadows nicely covering these stylish birds. The leaves are starting to grow, so the tree shadows are becoming fuller as the sun takes its Northerly trek. Nice shadows, as always!

Great shadows!
Glad you are back online - you don't realize how tied you are to a computer until it is down for some reason!
I alsways thought Canada geese came back to Canada for the summer! lol
What a great pasttime is reading - right now I am into jodi Piccoult's "House Rules". If you deal with children with autism this is quite an eye-opener!

Have a Happy Easter!!

I missed you last week! A super collection of photos - the geese are wonderful. I would need to wear several layers of thermal undies to sit outside to read!!

Hello Sylvia, I'm trying to play catch-up on my blogger friends; we've been so busy with the garden and clean up and veggie starts.

Happy you are up and running again. This morning we awoke to a light dusting on the ground, after a near 70 degree day last week, but that is spring.

Have a blessed Easter weekend.

That is so cool. Shadow means good sunny weather! Happy Easter!

Hot Fudge said...

Isn't it amazing how much we take for granted until something goes wrong? What you were going through with your computer I was having similar experiences with my faithful sewing machine, which is now in hospital. Eek!

I love your geese shot - a sign of warm weather for you ahead. And you must own the only literate blue glassware in the world!

I hope you have a very happy Easter weekend.

Chubskulit Rose said...

you have great selection of shadows Sylvia.

Please come and see my fitness shadows, happy easter!

bobbie said...

Wonderful, wonderful shadows, Sylvia. And the geese are very fine looking.

Aren't Tracy's pictures from her new home beautiful?

Happy Easter!

Gemma Wiseman said...

A smiley, homey world of shadows! Amazing how that blue vase casts such a variety of shadows when the glasses are added as an overlay! But I think that my favourite must be that cute goose couple!

Dimple said...

We need doctors for everything!

Reading a book in the sun is definitely relaxing.

The geese look pretty clean.

And, oh yes ... shadow shot sunday is addicting:)

Those geese look huge, I don't see many big birds in my area. I love your book and glasses shadow shot. Have a happy Easter and a wonderful week!

You always have the most interesting and unique Shadow Shots, Sylvia. I love all of them.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Spadoman said...

All of these are great, but I really like the blender's shadow. I can see the glass jar, (maybe it's plastic).
You are right. SSS is addictive!

Peace.

allhorsestuff said...

OH! Glorious sunlight!
I sigh, for now as Ms. fickle spring has taken him for a dance somewhere else for now!
Love being warmed by your views though...I can almost feel the light!

Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said...

I was wondering what was up! And, I have had intermittent internet connections dropping on me at the worst times. Still acting up, but hopefully will be resolved soon.
Really great array of shots for a lovely Easter Sunday!
