Shadow Shot Sunday!

Time to slip in and out of the light and the dark, searching for shadows to share on Shadow Shot Sunday! This fun Meme is hosted by Tracy at Hey Harriet. Click on the icon sign up and join the fun!

I've had to really look hard this week and try to get creative with very little sunlight and a whole lot of gloom! There were the usual ones from downstairs, that move around, change size as the sun moves around at different angles during the fall!





And there was the Christmas Cactus celebrating early as usual, can't wait for December and it was really trying to find a tidbit of sun!



And a brilliant reason to love fall!



Another plant basking in the one sunny day!

    The staging of your colorful shadows is always a treat. The shadows are cool that seem to be rising to a peak. Your living room is so comfortable looking. the light and shadows make it feel so!

    Those are lovely shots, Lady? Loving the green glass vase or something reflecting your nice room. It makes the whole room very cozy.

    Hugs to a lovely SS...

    Your really work hard for your shadows up there. That scarlet maple is well worth the effort, it's beautiful.

    I couldn´t get my eyes off that red furry cloud of a tree to see the photos with all the shadows. I was just fixed on that! Sorry!:-)

    Oh that tree! It's so beautiful - the States must be so pretty at the moment with all the fall leaves!

    Love the line of shadows on your wall! Never knew that cactus is called a Christmas cactus in English. I have had that plant but it never flowered at our house. My friend has one too that has grown bigger and bigger through the years. It always flowers abundantly! Wonder what I do wrong.

    Oh and those fall coloured trees are so beautiful!

    Have a nice Sunday!

    Stop it! Too many absolutely beautiful shots, and all reminding me how close Christmas is. Is that stunning tree outside your house?

    Oh, that red maple is enough to stop me in my tracks for quite some time. You still offer quite the 'serving' of shadows shots in spite of your having to hunt them down!
    Good hunting!

    Hey Sylvia! Love that first shadow picture - what fun! Enjoyed seeing your Christmas Cactus. I have one that my grandmother gave me...it was once the biggest one around...then it came to my house. It doesn't bloom...and now it is 1/4 of the size it was (it doesn't deal with 3 kids, a big dog & cat well I fear!) Have a super weekend!

    Great shadows in all the photos - especially your coloured glass photos.

    My Christmas cactus is getting ready to bloom soon as well. Maybe they are both Thanksgiving cacti. ;-)

    The second shot's shadows seem to be moving.

    I love the bright red tree.

    Great series you've shared.

    Happy Sunday!
