We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. Buddha |
We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand. E. M. Forster |
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. Plutarch |

The shadowy lamp...is it asking me to turn it on so that some mysterious dark light can shine...or is it content to fade away as day becomes night?
SHADOWY DINNER
A shadow, a shadow, a shadow you say?
A shadow is coming to dinner today?
Oh, what shall we feed it, and what will it eat?
Just toss down a few rays of light at its feet,
And watch its dark mouth gobble up every ray,
But be sure, my friend, you don’t get in its way;
Keep out of the light so it won’t gobble you.
(If I were the hostess, that’s just what I’d do.)
A shadow is easy to feed, so they say,
So welcome your shadow to dinner today.

Shadows here and there
Love the lacy shadows of curtains, I suspect. The amber color in the room is gorgeous.
Looks like you got some sunshine for a change, Sylvia!
Enjoy the weekend.
The shot of the room with the amber curtain and it ripping light is a beautiful one, and the shadows after that are superb.Lovely photos this week. genie

Excellent framing a beautiful play of light and shadows, very attractive. I wish you a happy weekend.
Sylvia, these are so beautiful. The tree casts a curtain over the house and then you bring the shadows of the curtains and walk down the passage on them. Very clever arrangement indeed. The sequence works perfectly.
I wish you lots more sunny days withe delightful shadows.
look at that huge shadow of the tree...pretty!! Love your other two as well Sylvia - Shadows in the house are always fun to spot! The sun has been out this week, so we are taking advantage to outdoor shadows of late!! Enjoy your weekend!
My favourite is the first photo - I love houses like that and trees!!
Lots of success with the shadow game.. a winner !

Those shadows say one thing: Sunshine!

have a great week ahead!
beautiful captures :D
loved the first one the most :D
Lovely shadow shots, I particularly like the second one, such lovely colours and patterns
Beautiful shadows! Please come see my Shadow shots
Hello Sylvia! I love those inside shadows, cosy and yet the outside beckoning!
Sylvia, I love all three of these photos, but especially love the tree on the hopuse. It is an awesome shot, and from a great angle. Hope all is good with you dear freind.
Peace
Very nice shadows, Sylvia. Isn't interesting what attracts us? I like doing reflections for Friday's Weekend Reflections and you like doing shadows and skies.
Oh my gosh! I LOVE that Plutarch quote! :) These are very nice shadow shots too!
Hey Sylvia, it's good to have time to blog, too wet to plow, so I'm having a cup of tea in front of the PC. The sun still isn't out, but I hear a better forecast for tomorrow, we need the heat and the sun!
Yeah, a bummer about our playlists, but my blog sure loads faster now..hope you get some sunshine too...good for the soul!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

trees are such wonderful shadow artists
Gorgeous indoor and outdoor shadows! Love the warm wall glow round the lamp and the outdoor wall shadow is very pretty!
Beauty in shadows! I liked the first picture a lot.
What wonderful quotations. And I love that second photo. It could almost be a painting. So lovely.
Sylvia, Lovely, unique shadows--the reflection's post before is lovely too-beautiful with those boats out on the water-- and magnificent skies. Great quotes (don't I say that everytime!!!). Have a lovely Sunday. :) Mickie
Great shadows, Sylvia. I love that first photo, the tree is so clear. I hope you're having a great weekend!
Love these Sylvia, and the first one is gorgeous.
Have a great week, and I hope that the sun shines in your part of the world.
Sylvia, I love your shadow shots, it's been a while between visits, but I do hope you have settled in to your new home. Jo
Wonderful shadow shots this week! Love tree and leaf shadows!
My favorite is that top photo with the big tree shadow on the house. I can just imagine standing in that house by the window as the wind stirs those shadows around!
Sylvia girl ! I love that saying from Buddha : ) and your shadow pictures are perfect .. my favorite is the middle one with the warm glow of the room and that beautiful lamp !
And .. I would never mention any beloved pets belly .. my girls have a little paunch as well .. too loved up at times ? LOL
Joy
Love your shadows and the wise words that go with them
What lovely shadow shots! Especially loved the effect of the tree's shadow in the first shot.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
I love the last shot with the shadow on the floor. It is gorgeous.
I like the contrast between indoor and outdoor shadows. The inside ones seem to set a mood, and give an air of mystery or gravity to the photos that doesn't come across in the bright sunny outdoors.
A stellar series of images and quotes to go with it! You've outdone yourself this week, m'dear!!
Brava!
