Shadow Shot Sunday!


Sleuths around the world, unite and see what kind of shadow shots we can find to display for Tracy over at Hey Harriet's!! Click on the icon, sign up and show us what you've found!

Flowers and flowering trees are blooming, budding, leafing out in a lot areas here in Seattle, but we're still having a lot of rain and I didn't want to show any grumpy, gray shadows, so these are from last spring. It is wonderful to begin to see colors and shadows do more than peep out for an hour or so, but I'll take them anytime!!

These are in our neighbors yard.



At the park near the harbor!





Guess where?



And a sip of tea on the front porch!



And a splash of color along the alley behind our house!

Beautiful captures from all around - not to mention that Windsor back chair in the kitchen. Shrubbery and plants leave such lovely shadows as they are so beautiful themselves. Nicely captured as always!

Great pictures. You know I have tried to be on the lookout for good shadow shots and I just haven't developed the eye for them yet. I love yours.

I like the shadows. It gives a sentimental feel.

I love the kitchen(?) shot the best.
But, of course they're all beautiful.

Azaleas afire,
burning brighter than ten suns—
holy flames rising.

Nice anticipatory shadows of Spring there - especially the iced tea on the deck. xx

In the last one, I love those flowers cascading over the fence. You found a lot of great shadows this week!

You always find a great array of shadows! I especially love the lacy pattern created on the sidewalk! No grumpy, gray shadows here!

Sylvia great glimpses of shadows from all over--
longing for the day when I can take some of flowers and smell them.
Happy SSS to you.

Martha Z said...

Beautiful and warm spring shots. It's alomst here.

Hey Harriet said...

Oooh you have some lovely flowers around your house. It's great to hear that things are warming up for you. Your garden will be bursting with colour again soon! I hear that it oftens rains in Seattle. I also hear that some of the best coffee can be found in Seattle cafes. They kind of go together...rainy days and good coffee :)

Have a great week!

Spring - that's what people around the globe are waiting for!

Have a great SS weekend...
See you again in April - I'm going to have a 'meme break' because we're travelling and then start packing because we're moving out from Egypt. Where? Morocco...

Have a great time and see you again in April!

Great shadow shots, Sylvia! Love those flowers.

Patti said...

I felt warmer just looking at your photos, Sylvia.

The rhododendron is beautiful. I took some pix of rhododendron last May. Beautiful pink.

The shadows on the sidewalk are lovely.

I'm guessing it's your kitchen. :-)

Enjoy your Sunday!
