Shadow Shot Sunday!


Time to go over to Hey Harriet and see what kind of shadows people everywhere have found this week -- and I hope they've had better luck than I have!!! Ah, well, it's that time of year! Shadow Shot is hosted every week by Tracy at Hey Harriet. It's fun, it's addictive and you get really frustrated when there's no sun! So, click on the icon, sign up and have fun looking for shadows!

We have had NO sun this entire week, it's wet, it's cold and I had to work to find some shots you haven't already seen.

The Christmas Cactus was very happy a couple of weeks ago -- you wouldn't want to see photos of him today though, but here he is when he was happy!



And the African Violet found some rays!



Back to the good old kitchen!





Have a great Shadow Shot Sunday everyone!

  8. There are no bad shadows! The plants leave a complex shadow, and we love how the sun creates the different lighting looks. For the mundane kitchen, the wine goblets - that is a fantastic shadows. Lovely pictures, as always!

  11. That last shot was unique.
    I don't think any of us here on the west coast will see much sun in the next week, not if the forcasts are correct. I won't complain if it means much needed rain.
    In anticipation I have already gone to my archives to find shots for next shadow shot.

  16. I think when we are desperately seeking shadows, that is when we find the most unusual, interesting ones! These are intriguing! And loved your story of the Christmas plant!

  17. Ah! That's a Christmas Cactus? I used to have one of those - I loved it! Very pretty shadowy shot it makes too. The last photo of the glasses is my favourite though! Have a lovely weekend!

  23. Delightful series! You never cease to amaze with your creativity in finding nifty shadows ... even when you have no sun. We're in for a TON of rain over the next week ... at the rate of 2-3 inches per day we could end up with 8-16 inches ... two -three times the amount of rain we had in total just last year! I can hardly wait ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,

  24. Your shadows are beautifull--and full of light!

  25. Love the last shot of the wine glasses! I can't imagine your Christmas cactus not looking so good. He's thriving in this photo! Hopefully he'll bounce back when the weather improves. Wishing you lots of sunshine this week. Fingers crossed!

  26. Sylvia, didn't you know that Christmas Cactuses need a break too!? :-) They've been active and supportive the darkest period of the year. Now they're tired and want to sleep... :)
    Sylvia, have a gooooood week ahead!
    Greetings from Cairo's morning!

  34. Excellent. I think the last one is my favorite shot, although they all have very cool shadows.

  35. Plants make such beautiful shadows - I think it helps us "see" them ever more clearly.

  37. Fabulous shadows! The Christmas cactus and African Violet have given you twice the blooms if you include the shadows! The colorful shadow from the drainer on the sink is so pretty! I especially love the shadow cast from the two glasses. That one is exquisite!

  38. It's OK to go back to the kitchen...your drinking glasses leave the best shadows, Sylvia.

    Your Christmas cactus looks good to me. Mine is so small.

    I posted late again ~ so disorganized am I.

    Have a nice week ahead!
