Shadow Shot Sunday!


Ready to find or create or fake some shadow shots? The reason I included faking them is that I was almost that desperate this week as we've had no sun! But I dug some out of my hoard and hopefully you haven't seen them all or you don't mind seeing them again! We'll have some sun again one of these days -- I think???? Anyway, for those of you who don't know about this addictive pastime that so many of us have gotten involved in, it's Shadow Shot Sunday and is hosted each week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet, so click on the icon and hop over to her blog, sign in and show and share the shadows that you discover!

My favorite turtle family!



This glass looks so plain until the sun shines through it and it takes on a whole new look!



Happy Ducks!



My Mother's Day Hanging basket really spread out the past couple of weeks!



Funny how something as ordinary as a dish rack takes on a new look with the colored glasses.

I wonder why turtles like to do that? I mean, line themselves up on a log like that? Cute little duckies too!
And the dish rack shadow with glass is a work of art! Enjoy your weekend too!

Catherine said...

nice selection as usual Sylvia - love that glass shot in particular...

Super shadows - I love the turtles, and the ducks, and the glass --- oh, I just love them all!! Regards, Anne

Ralph said...

A shadow is art, who gives thought to the world of real and fake - art is art, and you have captured it well! The turtles sit under shadowy reflections that ripple with the currents. Same for the quartet of quackers on the (same??) log. There is only shadowy beauty on land or lake!

Robin said...

There's something so inherently wonderful about a turtle family on a half-submerged log, isn't there... Love the reflections they make too.

Sorry you had no sun this week! Still you came up with some lovely shots. Especially like the turtle family!

Dianne said...

These are just awesome. I love those last two especially. You are so clever with these. :) Have a great Saturday :)

Anca Pandrea said...

Glass shadows are really nice shots. Light does its tricks pretty well!

EG CameraGirl said...

I love all your shadows, especially the last one with the straight and angled lines splashed with a tint of green.

Gerald (SK14) said...

the simple glass shot is myfavourite of these

Charlene Amsden said...

You make this look easy and I know it is fun. I even have the most incredible shadow pic that would be great for this, but unlike you I can't focus on doing this stuff every week. It is all I can do to keep up with the two weekly features I run!

Cassie said...

Oooooo I really like the ducks and turtle shots! Happy SSS to you Sylvia K!

jabblog said...

Ah, Sylvia - you are so observant :-)
Wonderful photos!

Martha Z said...

This meme teaches us to appreciate the play of light and shadow. Your ever observant eye always manages to find them no matter how uncooperative the weather.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

People who live in Seattle may be allowed to show us old shadows during a rainy week!! Especially when your pictures are as wonderful as yours. And especially when you share your wonderful pictures and thoughts with us a couple of times a day usually! I really appreciate what you do!

Elizabeth said...

My favorite is the one of the ducks!
I never tire of them!
Happy weekend.

Splendid Little Stars said...

I love the turtles and ducks and colorful shadows. I really wish I could send you some of our sunshine. :)

Your favourite family is also my favourite photo. I wonder if they will fall off.

Beverley Baird said...

Another great variety of shadows! Love the turtles especially!
Hope you have been enjoying your weekend!

Ebie said...

Add ice and lemonade to the simple glass, that would make me feel great. The dish rack shadow is very interesting!

Hi Sylvia,

I had to "fake" my shadow shots today, so I know what you mean :-) it does get hard when the sun wont play.

Love your shadow shots, I look forward to seeing them each week.

EJ said...

The turtle family shot is awesome.

Chubskulit Rose said...

My favorite shadow is that from the glass.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

Turtles, Ducks and colored glass - oh my!
What a treat you have for us today Sylvia!!

Hey Harriet said...

Those happy ducks make me happy just looking at them! Still no sunshine? Gosh I just don't know how you cope. Move to Australia! Plenty of sunshine here. I'd pack some up and send it your way if I could :) Have a great week Sylvia!

Chubby Chieque said...

I adore the animal's family parade but your shot around & about are just too lovely not to comment on them.

Have a pleasant Sunday.

Love the turtle family and the ducks! So cute.

The dish rack does leave a dramatic shadow! Come see my post when you get a chance...you inspired me, Sylvia.
