Shadow Shot Sunday!


Get out the magnifying glass, get into your best sleuthing clothes and start prowling your environment looking for those wonderful, but sometimes elusive shadows. It does help to have some sunshine! We HAD some!! Ah, well!!! This fun and challenging meme is hosted each week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet! Click on the icon, sign up and show us how clever you are!

I'm not even going to mention the weather this week, but I'm sure you get the message! But I still played around anyway -- in a shadowy respect, you understand!

Mojo was dreaming about last summer and wondering when she can go swimming again!



And I was thinking about a sunny, warm deck, a glass of something refreshing and a good book!



I got a new vase for the flowers I hope to have later and in what weak sunlight we had for a few minutes I got this shot and thought the texture of the glass top table on the vase shadow was really interesting! That dark shadow is the folded up umbrella!



And the good, old favorite -- blue!



Have a great weekend!!

You are always so creative with your shadows. Great job.

Beautiful pink and blue glass Sylvia and the texture of the pink shadow is reminiscent of sandblasted glass.Great doggy shot too.
Hope your weather is warmer than ours and you can enjoy that glass of something and a good book out in the sun.

You have the neatest tinted glass shadows, and the fluting on the blue vase adds an almost watery character to the shadows. Mojo seems so sweet, are you going to allow the pooch some watery playtime??

Mojo looks as if he would bark for sunshine, lol !
We went from one extreme to the other. Last week heating on this week the temperature climbed to 36° (over 90 F) and more ! that's very unusual ! Last time this happened was 1945 !!

Sorry about the lack of sunshine. :- (
We have had wonderful weather here lately, but tomorrow the humidity is supposed to be back.

I love the texture shadow from the pink vase. And the blue glass is beautiful, as always.

Hope Mojo can enjoy the water soon. Have a Happy Fourth of July weekend!

I hope your new vase gets filled to the brim with beautiful flowers and then they cast lovely shadows for you to share with us next week! Enjoy the rest of your SSS.

Thanks for sharing Sylvia, love the one of Mojo, and the blue glass shadow reminds me of crystal waters :-)

Oh poor Mojo! I hope it warms up enough for a splash in the ocean soon!

Ciao Silvia... il tuo cane è troppo simpatico !
Abbaia all'acqua o vuole farsi il bagno ?
Buona giornata.

You are so creative, also this post is very enjoyable except Mojo can not swim yet :)
I am just now in our summer cottage, we will have 26 - 28 degrees Celsius during this week, our golden retriever does not like it at all, she is walking in the lake but never swim :)
Plenty of sun to you and yours!

BLOGitse said...

Those two last ones are really cool shots!
We've had odd weather here in Casa.
Cloudy and 88% humidity, huh. Imagine unpacking, cleaning when sweating all the time.
Happy July 4th and
have a great week ahead!

the blue gets my vote! i have a window full of blue vases and hanging glass balls in my kitchen window and love the way the blue shadows play across the counter.

Sam said...

Mojo is having the best time! I love that about dogs - they really let loose and totally immerse themselves in joy and happiness! Love your shots here and love the sound of that glass of something refreshing and a good book to read!

Your new header is fun!! :0)

Lovely shadows. I love the blue glass and the playful dog at the seaside.
