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!!

The sun is playing hide-n-seek these days and you have to be pretty quick! I haven't been able to get out, so I'm dependent on the sun that occasionally creeps into my apartment. I'm sure all of you know my apartment as well as I do these days! Ah, but one day the sun will hang around long enough for me to do something different -- I hope!!  And, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, with lots of sunshine and lovely shadows!

    May I be a bit "snotty," Sylvia? I like the shadowy tissues! (Couldn't resist being punny this morning!)


    SHADOW SHOW

    Shadows creeping through the land,
    Shadows dark on every hand—
    If they should begin to glow,
    You had better run, you know!

    It's hard to believe the normal SEATAC weather is gray and mist, at least when we see your home! The sun adds a brightness and warmth, the welcome we all enjoy. Nice as always!

    The venetians and lacey curtains are certainly busy creating their own special shadow art in the last photo! That's fantantastic! And love the soft mellow light gracing your apartment world in the other photos!

    These are nice shadows on the wall. I like the ones with the curtains, almost reminds me of my grandmas bedroom right before dusk. Have not thought about that in years....funny how a photo will bring a memory back. So glad I stopped by. Have a great weekend.

    Once again Sylvia...perfection. It's like well......'coming home' when we visitors stop by here on Sundays.

    And yes, I would recommend that book - I'm almost done reading it from cover to cover [The Voodoo Queen - A Novel] ---she was a most fascinating lady.
