Our sun comes in lower and at a different angle so I have to catch it at just the right time. This is one our favorite plants that I love taking shadow shots of, just because it nearly always provides a good one!
My African Violet was getting so hungry for sunshine I finally put it down in the one patch I could find -- on the floor! Go figure!
Our lonely watering can -- wondering when I'm going to take it inside with all the other garden stuff! I did -- yesterday!
And Sam Schnauzer reminiscing about warm summer days at the beach!

These are great shadows Sylvia! So crisp and dark! I love your pup's photo.
Have a great weekend!
I too am playing the sun catching game, painting furniture outside is a roving ordeal these days...ha!
Ah, you're the first one to have guessed what's in the hand of my shadow shot...it was coffee in a dispo glass. And I love your shadow of the sprinkler, well composed. Have a happy weekend Sylvia.
Always love to see your shadows, Sam's shadow in the sand is adorable.
Sunny :)
Great shadows. Your timing worked out just fine.
...yes this time of year when the sun is a fleeting thing...we must call on our creativity...but that's have the fun right? love your series of photos...happy sss.
great set of photos! The watering can is very artisit photo - simple and beautiful lines!
Sometimes ya just have ta shot um where ya see umm... Short on sun and long on shadows. You did a marvelous job with your shadows, Sylvia.
My daily dose of sunshine!
All we have here today is wind and rain, and the sky's so low you could touch it --as if you'd want to. Bleugh! So much grey!
And I'm laughing at Sam's lovely eyebrows when seen from above!
It's a sun-challenge here in STL too...you caught some good shadows! Your violet will thank you. SAM is a cutie. I'd like to be on the beach too. :)
I love your indoor plants. All I have is a silk orchid plant, but, hey, I don't have to water it or fuss over it!
such dark opaque shadows..there must have been a lot of sun Sylvia - my favourite are the A violet and the watering can...
The potted plants offer rich shadows that continue the complex shapes of each. The watering can seems curvaceous with the shadow replicating its arcs nicely. The nice yet small doggie seems to double in character, the beard and pointy ears standing out in real or shadow form. Neat captures, and the sun is turning more and more to the southern winter place. Capture the sun as long as you can!
Sam looks like he's checking out his shadow. I love the violet shadow a lot, too.
Nice. I especially like the plant shadow on the quasi-floral patterned rug.
Have a great weekend!
lovely shadows, especially Sam,
Your shadow shots are so interesting that I think I'll try some.
Sam always makes the cutest shadow!
For sure that African violet will bloom all the better with your special care.
Sam Schnauzer looks so sweet!
Enjoy your week!
When my mother lived in Northern Canada the winters were long and dark, she had special lights for her African violets. I can't look at an African violet without thinking about my mother. ;-)
What wonderful shadow shots..Each one is lovely..especially the little dog.
What a cute shadow.
Happy SSS.
Wonderful mix of shadows! I especially love the shadow across the rug of the violet. It looks as though it is resting and dreaming there!
You obviously have far more luck with African violets than I ever had - mine never survived long enough to throw a shadow of any sort. And I love the shot of Sam reminiscing.
Your African violet looks wonderfully healthy....
must enjoy sunbathing...
such strong lovely shadows
Nice shadow captures, Sylvia.
Your African violet looks strong and healthy. I have trouble growing them,
Sam made me smile.
thanks for stopping by!
Excellent shots, Sylvia, for SSS! Love your header photo too! :)
Another delightful visit chez Sylvia!
Those potted plants, how they will travel this winter, from room to room - and what shadows one finds
as needs must! Lovely.
African violet,
you’re craving sunshine, it’s clear—
come to the light, dear.
Excellent Shadow Shots Sylvia! :-)
Hi Sylvia, thanks for stopping by to visit me .....as usual love all your shots especially the watering can oh and who can resist such a cute dog..... hope you have a nice day too xxx
Love the watering can!! :)
They all bring a great big smile to my face! I would like to bask as that violet did...
Lovely shots - especially Sam - he's a cutie!
A great collection of shadows! Cute one of Sam. I would never have guessed that the shadow belonged to such a little doggie!
Hi Sam

Crisp shadows. And Happy Birthday Sam!
I love the second photo!
Here's my first Shadow Shot Sunday
oh Sam, what a shadow!
super photos - I like your African violet - I've just moved mine from the windowsill for the winter!
Wonderful shadows (as always) ... love the way you provided much needed sunshine for your African Violet. I enjoyed your lovely quotes and photos this week too ... just beautiful.
Hugs and blessings,
Sacred Ruminations
You captured some great shadow Sylvia! Love the violet basking in that sun! Happy SSS!
A lovely collection of SSs. I especially like the one of Sam and the seaweed.
