Shadow Shot Sunday!

It's shadow sleuthing time
again! Are you ready for some fun? Shadow Shot is hosted every week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet and it is the most fun ever!! And once you start, you can't get enough! So click on the icon, sign up and start chasing shadows!

After an almost balmy January and February and all the spring flowers and flowering trees blossoming out a good month to six weeks early, March rolled in with dark, heavy skies, lots of rain and some of the coldest temps of the winter. Sunshine and shadows?? Forget about it!! So, I had go looking for some old ones!

Hopefully when April rolls around our deck will look like this again!



I do like this shot because you not only get colored shadows but reflections as well!





And the stairs leading to the thick Irish Moss!



Of course, Sam will be glad to see the sun again, too!

It's gross here as well. Big old very windy nor'easter. Here's to sun!

A lovely collection of shadows! We finally feel as if spring has arrived, with some warmth in the sun - but everything in the garden is late, after the severe winter.
Have a good weekend, love, Anne

I used archive photos today as well. I didn't get a chance to search for shadows this week.
I always love your colored glass shadows and reflections, Sylvia.

I like the stairway shadows. I feel like I'm falling into the photo!

Patti said...

P.S. Beautiful new photo in the header. Azaleas are so pretty and spring-like.

Tom Hilton said...

Love the vase shadow, and the criscrossing lines of the stair shadows.

Have a great weekend!

Linda Reeder said...

Here's wishing you sunshine and shadows on our Sunday this weekend. There is a possibility!

Your shadow shots are delightful, Sylvia. I especially like the colored light shinning through the bottles.
Of course the shot of Sam is my favorite, please give him a pat on the from me.

Beautiful shadows! I haven't done one last week or this week. Just didn't find much sun, and didn't have time to search the archives.

The beauty of Mahler and the azalias simply stir my soul, just glad for another day to be alive rain or shine!

Hi, lovely collection of shadows photos, I heared that it's been raining in sme parts of your country but also have good weather but I guess everyone's longing for the summer now, I can't blame you coz although the snow photos from eveyrone's lovely but still it does makes me feel cold too..... cheers for summer to come.

toby said...

Those are all just wonderful - thanks for posting them! I especially like the blue vase. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

MyMaracas said...

Love your colored shadows. And I think we share an appreciation for reflections. I hope the weather doesn't kill off all that spring growth!

Thanks for stopping by at mine, and for your thoughtful comments.

Rosebud Collection said...

Every shot is lovely..always think the colored ones are beautiful..The little dog, Sam, is adorable.
Happy SSS.

Ralph said...

It is still Winter, so your archives of warm weather shadows are quite welcome. The glassware, as always, allows for exquisite and colorful shadows. Sam may be ready for the warmer winter, too, although he seems to be looking for the shadows to help him cool off...

Nessa said...

I love light through colored glass. Lovely shadows.

The over cast sky was great for getting my outside windows washed - Yahoo...maybe I scored some points with the lady of the house.
Spring will return at some point but when... when?
Your post was wonderful as always!

I love your colored glass shots, Sylvia. This post every week always captures the calm and peace of Sunday for me.

Arija said...

Lovely shadow shots Sylvia and your little blue vase could be a pair to mine. I have quite a nice little collection of blue and pink glass, we have a glass blowing school here with some fine artists.

Hugs and blessings, Arija

That deck looks like an inviting place to spend a little time. I hope the weather warms up for you so you can enjoy it again.

if you don't mind my asking, what type of Moss is that around your stones? It's so beautiful & lush.
& have I told you, Sam is a cutie?

allhorsestuff said...

I particularly love the stairs~

James said...

Great shots Sylvia. My two favorites are Sam and the one looking down the stairs.

Martha Z said...

Isn't it nice that we have our archives to remind us of sunnier days. As for me, I've been to the desert where I found sun and spring!

Hey Harriet said...

The shadow shot of the stairs leading to the Irish moss is really cool! And of course your coloured shadows are always lovely! The weather is so whacky these days it's difficult to know what will be happening. The seasons seem to be getting a little muddled up! Have a great week & I hope you have some sunshine.

Big pats to cutie Sam!

Eden said...

I always love your shadow shot entries. You have great collection of shadow around your house. And that cute Sam is one of my favourites.

Carin said...

Love the coloured shadows! And those beautiful flowers in your header make me really long for Spring and its colours! That plant is gorgeous!

Enjoy your week!

Christine said...

What a great collection of SS! I love the colored glass, very prettty! Thank you for your sweet comment & Happy SSS!

Love that blue! The deck looks like a nice place for a party!

Sarah said...

Hurray for the sun! Sam looks very happy!

sunnymama said...

Great collection of shadow shots! I love the colourful shadows and the shadows on the stairs are fantastic. :)

Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said...

It looks quite Springy and warm there! Love the shadow shots-the rail shadows on the steps are pretty darned cool. Of course, love the blue glass one too!!
Hope you had a great weekend!

Chubby Chieque said...

The colour glasses are so beautiful.

So wonderful to see the grass turn to green now. I would go around barefooted and just feel the glorious feeling of it.
I am late as I am too lazy and a bit tired after the week's activities.

Happy a wonderful week ahead.

Xoxo as always.

I know I'm a week late ... but thankfully you make your whole post available in your 'feeds' so I can catch up in my reader. I enjoyed all your shadows here but the stairs is my favorite ... wonderful shot!
Hugs and blessings,
