Shadow Shot Sunday!

Oh, I did miss being able to
play with all of you shadow sleuths last week, but my computer had a serious virus and I had to wait until my computer guru got back into town to fix it up! But I'm back today and can't wait to see what great shadow shots you have. For those of you who don't know about Shadow Shot, it is hosted each week by Tracy at Hey Harriet, click on the icon, sign up and start looking for shadows! One warning! It is addictive!!

You wouldn't know it by looking out my window right now, but we had gorgeous, sunny days last week and these are some of the shots I got!

This lovely goose couple were enjoying being back in the states!!



Such beautiful sunshine, trees leafing out, flowers and lovely shadows!



And back at home it was fun to be able to sit in the sun and read!



Couldn't believe that my colored vase was wearing glasses, too!!



Even the blender was tossing off a shadow!!

The Spring exposition,
attended by
H. M. the Sun,
and his consort,
Mrs Breeze.


The Duchess of Green
adjusts her hat,
bending
to whisper,
to a tree-in-waiting
attired in pale yellow
who listens
and shrugs...

" These young trees,
will never learn....
Look
at all these
sensible greys,
deep greens,
conservative ,
woody ,
browns.
I never thought
I'd see
someone
in a flouncy white
and purple,
in the front row,
acting up like this !"
