Shadow Shot Sunday!


It's that time again, my shadow addicted friends!! What have your chased down for today?? Shadow Shot is hosted by Tracy over at Hey Harriet, click on the icon, sign up and share what kind of shadows you've found for today!

I've had lots of fun this week because we've had some more sun and I went out to play. And down at the bird sanctuary at the beach I discovered these guys! I love the watery reflections around this pond and the ducks are always fun to watch.



But I had work to do at home, cleaning out a closet. I had taken some clothes upstairs to take to Goodwill and lo and behold an old lace blouse of mine had captured the show!



And, of course, Mojo was there to help!



And my favorite colored bottles had all gotten shoved to the side to make room for my box to take to Goodwill, couldn't let them go uncaptured!

I love the reflection of the 'guys' in the water. And Mojo is always willing to cooperate. I'm sure you will get tons of comments on the colored bottles. Great shadow shots, Sylvia.

Two ducks on a log
contemplating teeming pond—
what sweet treats therein?

I love the two duck friends on their log! Your shirt makes a very pretty shadow too.

Catherine said...

Patti said...

Wonderful shot of the ducks reflected in the pond.

QuAcK!

The lace blouse creates an intricate shadow. Nice.

Have a great week shadow seeking, Sylvia!

I love the ducks and their shadows, but I think Mojo looks so cute! :)

Ralph said...

These quackers are relaxing on the log. They are at peace as the watch the current flow. I am sure that they will jump back in soon...

The delicate lace leaves an equally delicate shadow. Elegance is well defined here!

Tom Hilton said...

I love that second shot--such delicate tracery. And of course, the colored vase shadows are lovely as always...

Have a great weekend!

I always love seeing your shadows - you have such a variety. Mojo doesn't seem too interested!
Love the coloured glass shadows!
Have a great weekend!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Your lace blouse shadow looks like a shadow fantasy! Amazingly beautiful! And love your other shadows celebrating the arrival of Spring! (Of course, Mojo's shadow is a winner!)

Cassie said...

Don't those duck tails cast a cute reflection?! That sexy lace blouse is lovely and the shadow devine. Great Shadow Shots.

MyMaracas said...

Love those ducks hanging out together. And I love the shadows cast by that blouse!

Diane AZ said...

The birds are really cute, the lace shadow is fascinating and it looks like Mojo is wearing the chair. They are all fun and beautiful images!

magiceye said...

brilliant captures as always!

Unknown said...

Lovely shadow shots, as always Sylvia. I really love the ducks' reflection in the river water. That's such a sweet shot!

Peace,
Gina

Oh, boy! That lace blouse is competing for my attention over the glass shots! Looks like you are having lovely spring weather there. Have a wonderful day!

Carletta said...

LOVE the lacy shot! Sometimes things just appear. :)
Of course - lovely colored glass shadows!!

Hey Harriet said...

These are all so great Sylvia but that top one of the ducks is very special. They look so happy sitting there without a care in the world. And they probably don't have a care in the world. Lucky ducks! Have a great week!

Love all your photos, love the bottles, and of course the ducks, they look like they are trying to decide what to do with their day.

Fabulous shots... Both animals and lovely glass.

Spadoman said...

I love the shadow cast by the lace. I'd have thought curtains until you mentioned the blouse. Is that one you gave away to Goodwill?
Great shots one and all.

Peace.

Dianne said...

I love how the ducks are sitting there
and that blouse is beautiful

jabblog said...

All such wonderful captures, Sylvia. I love the ducks' bottoms' shadows - and the lace blouse is fantastic. It must have been a lovely bright day to catch such sharp shadows.

GalleryJuana said...

That is such a cute pic of the ducks. Beautiful captured!

Wishing you a good Sunday and week.

Hi Sylvia, a super collection of shadows - I love the lace pattern! And as always your coloured glass looks wonderful. Hope you have had a great weekend - today has been HOT here, lots of sunshine and blue sky. Love, Anne

penny said...

Don't let go of the beautiful bottles, they are my favorite shadows but..the ducks look delightful also, Sylvia.

Chasing Purple Dreams said...

I love that lacy shadow, what a treat for you amidst your work sorting for donating you found a little beauty.

Susan at Stony River said...

That pair of ducks is a show-stopper of a photograph -- what a great moment to capture!

Eden said...

Fantastic shadows shots as always, Sylvia. Love the first photo and the dog photos the best. Thanks for sharing always your beautiful shadows.

I am sorry for the late visit. I have been busy lately. Have a nice day always.

You brought me back to the days of my youth. Mum kept ducks, and I was her helper. The ducks often dove in the water just like yours.

We knew which was a make drake, he was handsome and had a little curl at the back.

What MARVELOUS shadow shots and I love the reflections in this lovely impressionistic scene. I can do almost all of the things on your 'inner peace' list, but I'm not ready to give up my morning coffee. Love the punchline and the photo at the end! Max and Mojo continue to be excellent 'subjects' and seem so contented on your deck. Your Simple Home Remedies had me in stitches and the 'stolen' Kodak moments are priceless ... seriously!
Hugs and blessings,
