Shadow Shot Sunday

A sunny Saturday afternoon,

an old screen door,

one of the few plants that survives my lack of gardening talent...

and that precious moment when we stop, look and capture shadows!

Shadow Shot Sunday

We woke up this morning and found our French Gentleman Bust

...in drag!

Pure glam...right there in a corner, just waiting to have fun...

It must be Halloween!!


Have a happy and safe one!

Shadow Shot Sunday

Welcome!
While looking at some pictures from our trip to China, I found some shadows that I had not noticed before....

Shadows at the Summer Palace....

Shadows in the little town of Suzhou...

and some shadows at the magnificent Wall of China...

Since I started participating in Shadow Shot Sunday, hosted by Hey Harriet!, I started to look at objects and pictures! a little different...you might want to give it a try...it's fun!

The Backyard...

...was always the perfect place to enjoy a BBQ with friends...

...display some vintage iron furniture....

and cool off in a hot Summer afternoon...

Now its all that, plus the perfect place to find some interesting shadows!

Sunday Shadow Shot

Today I can't take any credit for the photographs I'm posting...

They were taken by M, my 18 year old son, for a school project a couple of years ago.

I thought they could work for a SSS post...
M has been in England for 2 weeks now and I'm missing him a lot...I could send him an email and tell him to check this post, but...he's 18, he's with friends and this is the first time out of the country without the rest of the family.... I don't think he has time for blogging!!!

Now, hurry up to Hey Harriet! and be inspired by some very talented photographers from all over the world!

Shadow Shot Sunday

The girls from The Summer Kitchen Journal have been inspiring me every Sunday with their Sunday's Shadows Posts, so much really, that I decided to join in today.

This fun Sunday activity is hosted by Hey Harriet! and by visiting her lovely blog you get to admire and be inspired by some wonderful photography.
I love Harriet's idea because it represents exactly what I like best about blogging: it makes you look high and low to capture a simple image, a simple idea, sometimes just waiting for you on a shelf!.
Thank you, Kerrie, Karla and Harriet for the inspiration!
