Shadow Shot Sunday!

Get out the magnifying glass, get into your best sleuthing clothes and start prowling your environment looking for those wonderful, but sometimes elusive shadows. This fun and challenging meme is hosted each week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet! Click on the link under the blog title and sign up to play!! We've had some sun this week, not much, but better than none at all!!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend with lots of sun and shadows!
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.

    The shadowy lamp...is it asking me to turn it on so that some mysterious dark light can shine...or is it content to fade away as day becomes night?

    SHADOWY DINNER

    A shadow, a shadow, a shadow you say?
    A shadow is coming to dinner today?

    Oh, what shall we feed it, and what will it eat?
    Just toss down a few rays of light at its feet,

    And watch its dark mouth gobble up every ray,
    But be sure, my friend, you don’t get in its way;

    Keep out of the light so it won’t gobble you.
    (If I were the hostess, that’s just what I’d do.)

    A shadow is easy to feed, so they say,
    So welcome your shadow to dinner today.

    Love the lacy shadows of curtains, I suspect. The amber color in the room is gorgeous.

    Looks like you got some sunshine for a change, Sylvia!

    Enjoy the weekend.

    Sylvia, these are so beautiful. The tree casts a curtain over the house and then you bring the shadows of the curtains and walk down the passage on them. Very clever arrangement indeed. The sequence works perfectly.

    I wish you lots more sunny days withe delightful shadows.

    Very nice shadows, Sylvia. Isn't interesting what attracts us? I like doing reflections for Friday's Weekend Reflections and you like doing shadows and skies.

    Hey Sylvia, it's good to have time to blog, too wet to plow, so I'm having a cup of tea in front of the PC. The sun still isn't out, but I hear a better forecast for tomorrow, we need the heat and the sun!

    Yeah, a bummer about our playlists, but my blog sure loads faster now..hope you get some sunshine too...good for the soul!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

    I like the contrast between indoor and outdoor shadows. The inside ones seem to set a mood, and give an air of mystery or gravity to the photos that doesn't come across in the bright sunny outdoors.
