It does help to have some sunshine! And this week we got a LOT!! I went around blinking in the unaccustomed brightness! But I did blink with camera in hand and, of course, had to play a bit!
This was an anniversary gift many years ago in Spain. It's been packed away for some time, so today I decided to let it have a little sunshine, too!
This is the biggest African Violet I've ever seen! I've had to re-pot it three times this year!
Color and lace!
And my web-footed friend, Sir Daffy Duck!
Enjoy your sunshine and have a lovely weekend!

Sylvia these are excellent shots. Thank you.
Have a sunny weekend.
The blending of sun, shadow and brilliant flowers is such a treat! There isn't one effect of nature that captures our eyes alone but the mix is lovely.
Mr. Daffy sits nicely on the surface, his reflection as stately as he!
Your African violet is amazing - mine is looking very sad at the moment! And of course I love the lace and coloured glass. Enjoy the weekend, Anne
These are wonderful! The different "texture" of the shadows are impressive. I especially like the gossamer (if that's the right word) of the rose, and the one of the duck. And my 1st thought also that your African violet is amazing. It gets lots of tender care, I am sure.
What a great array of shadows! Sir Daffy looks quite happy - with the heat the perfect place to be! Your violets are gorgeous!
Have a great weekend!
The African Violet is fantastic! So many blooms!
Ciao Sylvia... oggi pur essendo molto stanca da duro lavoro di fabbrica, ho deciso di postare una foto nel mio blog.
Queste foto sono molto belle, anch'io ( ma forse tutte le donne ) ho una rosa come la tua e la tengo come una reliquia in ricordo.
Sir Daffy Duck è molto carino.
E' tuo ?
Buona giornata, la mia oramai è giunta alla fine sono quasi le 18:30 PM.
Kisses :-))
Many years ago the Prof made me two copper and brass roses... Your African violet is doing so well and your three glass bottles, hanging on the wall are quite charming.
Nice! I especially like the first one and (of course) the colored vases. Have a great weekend!
I see you soaked up a lot of sunshine this week sand found some great shadows. Here's hoping there will be lots more sunshine this week, Sylvia.

Color and lace is a shot to die for. So romantic, feminine, beautiful.
Hi Sylvia
What a great series of shadows this week. My fav would have to be the Rose, so pretty.
Have a fantastic week, see you next Sunday ;-)
Lovely!! my fav is the duck :) enjoy your Sunday!
THe African violets are stunning. I can never get them to bloom like that. I love your duck shots:)
I'm a sucker for your colour and lace - you always capture the colours and contrast so well.
Wow, Sylvia you have done it again and captured some beautiful shadows. The glass and lace is awesome.
Pleased to hear that you have had sunshine
What a lovely intricate rose!
My dear MIL was one who could grow African violets and I see you can too - lovely Sylvia.
The lace and glass image is soooo....romantic! :)
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
Your first shadow is marvelous Ms. Sylvia!
Shadow Shot Sunday
I love each one but that coloured lace one is super! Daffy is cute! Have a fantastic week ahead Sylvia. Glad to hear that you had some sunshine :)
Wonderful photos, I love the rose so much. My mum has an African violet that I gave her for a mothers day present some 20 or more years ago and with numerous repotting and divisions it is still going strong, still in a pot that lives in the kitchen in winter and on the garden table in summer.
Terrific photos! Especially love the magic of your colour and lace! Very beautiful!
Great post with hide and seek items and a strong shadow of a memory from Spain...
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday,
greetings from Casa!

I'm really liking that color and lace.
Love the Rose Shadow~ your color & lace photo is stunning :-)
Sylvia, these are great. I always like your glass shadows, but behind the curtain adds some intrigue. Then the duck's head, what a great capture. Good job!
Peace.
Your African violet is wonderful - it's going to grow into a shrub ;-)
Always enjoy your array of shadows and shaggy partners in crime...what a pair they are and so cute to photograph. I know how fast the hairs grows too, especially them eyebrows, but they're so cute when shaggy!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
I am glad you got some sun this week! We have had nothing but for what seems like ages now. It can't last! I love your shots, especially the lace and colour one-beautiful effect!

WOW love that big blue African Violet! Fantastic! Glad to read you're having your share of sunshine too! Over here in Holland we have plenty right now, the heat is nearly tropical .... and has been for some time now..... very uncommon for Holland!
Wayyyy excellent Syl!! That rose shadow shot is my favorite...but all are soooo cool.
They're all so nice, but I LOVE that rose! And how appropriate on the weekend Spain takes the world cup - I love it!
You have out done yourself this time, my dear! These are amazing! The rose from Spain must've conjured up many emotions...
I hope you had a lovely weekend! We were in Denver visiting when I posted SSS and I must say that is a FUN town to go and visit!
Fantastic shadow shots. Beautiful african violets. My first time to see such size.
Wow...such a variety this week! The curtains and colored glass make a really neat effect. All lovely shots!
