Shadow Shot Sunday!


Time to chase the shadows once again!! Shadow Shot Sunday is hosted each week by Tracy at Hey Harriet. It is addictive, but it is the most fun ever! Click on the icon, sign up, get on your sleuthing clothes and start looking for shadows!!

We have SUN!! The last two days have been gorgeous, almost warm and I didn't know where to start first! Unfortunately, it was a very busy day here and I didn't have as much time to prepare for tomorrow as I would have liked. So, I just ran around clicking on everything in sight -- I'll extend my search over the weekend so I have something for next week -- who knows what the weather will be then?????

Mojo was in hog -- doggie heaven!



The neighbors garage door was just too busy with shadows of everything!



The lilac tree is full of leaf buds and drinking up the sunshine!



And flowers! Blooming!



Mojo caught in a red shadow!!



And Mojo wondering who that long creature is????

Who tells the crocus
when to start blooming? Who laughs
the sun up each day?


Forlorn Shadows

Ralph said...

Mojo is a professional sleeper. The shadow of a sleeping canine is relaxing, indeed...I like the trees shadow and fence - the curvaceous tree is a stark contrast of the vertical fence. The garage door has many conflicting shadows, but the light of the lattice leaves little gems of light around. Nice captures again!

I'm comin' to your house...it'll be a while before we see the crocus in Iowa!!! Have fun with that sunshine!!! Scratchy's dieing to role in the grass(not snow)!

Beverley Baird said...

What a great array of shadows! Love the flowers - it will certainly be a while before we see that! There is snow (2-5 in. predicted for Monday!! yikes)
Take care - have a great weekend!

trees make magic shadows but the bottom photo is terrific.

bobbie said...

Beautiful sunshine!!! Isn't that garage door special! What did Mojo make of that strange shadow?

Martha Z said...

I see Mojo was making the most of the sun as well.
Further south the sun has left us, clouds but no rain. Like you, I managed to find a few shadows in our week of nice weather.

Johnny Nutcase said...

Great shots, Sylvia :) Mojo is loving that sun! The sun came out the morning I left TN the other day, and my cat was SOO happy! Great post!

Carin said...

Looks like Spring has arrived over at your place! Beautiful Spring flowers blooming. If I had been Mojo lying there I would have been in heaven too. It looks so good to be able to soak up the sun like that. Glad you enjoyed this nice weather!

Sam said...

A lilac tree - how lovely! ...and those pretty flowers look like the first of the Spring bulbs! Perhaps Winter is on the way out now? As always, love your puppy dog shots! Have a lovely weekend Sylvia!

Jacqui said...

Everything is lapping up the sun and making wonderful shadows where you are. Great shots.
Sorry to read about your cousin - sending warm wishes through the ether. xx

My dog loves the sun too. Nice shots.

Patti said...

Sunshine...flowers...buds...now I'm jealous.

Mojo knows a good sunny spot when he sees one. As Ralph said, he's a professional sleeper. Like our cats!

I always enjoy your shadow finds, Sylvia!

Susan said...

Thanks for visiting my site, glad you enjoyed that post. This shadow hunt does look like fun. I will have to see if i can find some shadows of my own.
My sympathies on the loss of your dear cousin.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

We wonder....does Mojo know he's so famous??!! Love your sun-shiny shadows Sylvia - and flowers...is spring really on its way?? We can't wait to smell the lilacs - so your picture of your neighbor's tree really hits home!
Happy Week to you!

Dimple said...

Nice shots; I love the crocus! If yours are blooming, can ours be far behind? I can hope!

Margaret Gosden said...

I like the last one - a good shadow! It looks very
springlike there. Can't wait to see signs of it here - the snow is almost gone in NYC, but not in places like
Washington DC.

magiceye said...

those are wonderful images indeed!

MyMaracas said...

Flowers!! Lucky, lucky you!

Love the garage door, too. The shadow there looks like some amazing alien plant creature.

That Anais quote is one of my favorites! And that last shadow image is a doozy!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Soon you're not the only one who goes nuts of sun! LOL!

Enjoy!!!
Happy SS Sunday from Cairo!

I'm so happy Mojo got to sit in the nice warm sun. He looks so blessedly content!

Jen said...

Happy SSS Sylvia
Great shadow shots as always from you.
We finally had some sun here in Northern KY too---
it's helped with the slow melt of the snow.

Hey Harriet said...

Gotta love that crazy cool red splotchy shadow on Mojo! And you have flowers!?! Yay! So winter must nearly be over. I'm happy you had some sun to play in over the last couple of days. Hope it keeps up. Enjoy the rest of your week!

GalleryJuana said...

It looks like it's warming up in your area.

I love this quote you posted.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
