Shadow Shot Sunday!


Time to play with the shadows again -- well, if you've had some sunshine, or lamplight or whatever works to create those fascinating shadow shots! This oh so fun meme is hosted each week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet! So click on the icon, sign up and show us what you've found this week!

It's been another week of sketchy sun, lots of rain, way, way too much cold wind -- well, you get the picture! But here's what I managed to come up with for today.

This is the shadow of the hanging basket that Adam bought for our front porch!



I saw this rosebud across the alley behind our house and it just seemed to be stretching so hard to reach for a little sunlight!



The flowers everywhere got to me this week!



And, of course, a favorite glass and one of my leftover "lace and vase" shots!

    The hanging plant leaves a shadow that compels us to leave the house as the sun has finally arrived. A floral EXIT sign! The stemware and vase are so colorful in shadow, the sun blazing in the sky and on the table, too!

    Nice shadow of the hanging plant.
    The flowers are so pretty and I love the colored glass pix, as always!

    Love your photo in the header. Great capture of a beautiful day on the water.
    Have a nice weekend, Sylvia.

    Beautiful. I love that last one--the deep red of the vase shadow, the texture of the lace, and the subtle shadows the lace itself casts. Really nice.

    All lovely pictures, but the vase and lace image is out of this world!
    I can imagine having a poster with this image.

    Love the hanging basket shadow! Must be nice to have flowers out everywhere. The gardens are looking a little drab here in Aust except for the beautiful wattles starting to appear. Enjoy your spring day!

    Sylvia,
    I want to be like that rose across the alley. It sure does show us what's possible with some effort! Beautifully captured. I think your shadow shots are the best part of the week. They are so full of peace.

    You found some sun. Here in Northern California winter keeps making encore performances, sun for a few days then more stormy weather.

    The Shadow shot is really interesting - love the pattern and the color contrast. The other shots are good too - love the rosebud.

    The blue and red glass reflection is a class room lesson for me, I should try it some times.

    I love shadow shots of transparent items. They lend a different more interesting aspect. Yours are delightful.

    At least the flowers have enjoyed all that rain. They sure look happy and healthy because of it! That's a gorgeous lacey coloured glass shot! I hope you have a super week ahead Sylvia and the cold winds ease off a bit. I hate windy weather. It gives me major headaches. Ick!

    Hi Sylvia, Have some problems posting a comment here. Don't see my earlier comment so will give it another go.
    Your first shot looks like the pictures I posted this week. That rose is wonderful and always like the way you capture your coloured glass collection!

    Enjoy your Sunday and have a good week!

    Thank you for the very nice offerings this week. I especially like the rose bud, and the red of the glass, fractured as it is, is beautiful.

    Peace.
