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!!

In spite of some chilly, rainy, windy days lately, we have mostly enjoyed more summery weather and I do love the colors and shadows I see around me. I used a larger pic today, you'll have to scroll over a bit, but hope you can see more of the pics in the collage! May you all enjoy a lovely weekend full of laughter and joy and beauty!

    Your shadowy living room looks invitingly cool! I adore the zucchini people in your new header--what fun!


    TALKING SHADOWS?

    Imagine a shadow could talk
    In whisper or rumble or squawk;
    Just what would it say
    To make you go, “Hey!
    You’re just a chip off the old block!”?

    Your Seattle captures in subject and shadow are great! We hear about the rainy cities on the Puget, but you make the damp lands look majestic under a blue sky. Mice captured as always!

    Ohh, it's truly a very, very long time since I stepped in your world; life and work just took all my energy and time; but very often I thought of you and I was asking myself if you are fine, feeling well and if you feel now home in your new residence!!!!???

    I do love your wonderful clouds imagines.......they are so very clean; full of dreams, joy and lights!!

    Fascinating artfull shadow-collage; cara Sylvia!

    I am so very happy when you are visiting my Tuscany; it's always wonderful to read your lovely thoughts!!!!

    Have a wonderful and sunny weekend, cara amica!!!!

    For there to be shadows, there must first be light. That is a good thing.

    Those shadows look so soft and everything looks so warm and inviting. I love the shadow cast from the curtain.

    Shadows are more atmospheric in a garden somehow! Also liked the 'red' shadow in the last picture...

    Sometimes, dreams are all we have left and we just have to hang on to them and little by little we still see the wonders around us.

    I love to see your plants thriving and your lovely views as well as your well spotted shadows.
