Shadow Shot Sunday Nativity

Shadow Shot Sunday Columcille

Yet another photo from the archives. We've been without electric power for the entire week due to a freak October snow storm that caused many tree limbs to fall. Power only just came on today at about 4:15pm.

So this shot comes from a trip we took to PA about four years ago for a family reunion. We made a mini-vacation of it and also visited Columcille.

Shadow Shot Sunday Airport

I had a shot planned, but then the clouds moved in before I could get close enough and focus. So this is another week for the archives. I found this shot that I took this last year. I posted a companion shot back then.

But I think I like this one better...

Shadow Shot Sunday Wrinkled Towel

This is another one from the archives. Here's our dog's towel, wrinkled and basking in the sun. Cross your eyes a bit and imagine that it's the desolate surface of some alien world.

Shadow Shot Sunday Potato Friend

This was taken a couple of years ago, when our daughter was still goofy enough to fool around with Mr. Potato Head.

Shadow Shot Sunday Stream

Captured this while on a hike in our favorite nature preserve....

Shadow Shot Sunday Wisteria Blooming on Trellis

Here's another shot of a wisteria, but this one is blooming!

Shadow Shot Sunday Frisbie-Catcher

This week's shadow is cast by an artwork by Cow Parade called "Daisy's Dream."

Shadow Shot Sunday Doorknob

One of the crystals in the window has projected its rainbow light onto the doorknob for this week's shot.

Shadow Shot Sunday Farmhouse & Barn

Here are two shadows I captured during my lunchtime walk: an awning frame on a farmhouse, and a tobacco barn.

Shadow Shot Sunday First Crocus

Today's shot is in celebration of Spring! It's our first flower, a dependable little crocus that pops itself up every year.

Shadow Shot Sunday Cat Belly

Cat number two works on his tan...

...right near the dog...

Shadow Shot Sunday Cat Number Four

Please say hello to Cat Number Four, whom we adopted last week.

Shadow Shot Sunday Cat Buddies

These two are so cute together. And there's even a shadow in the shot!

Shadow Shot Sunday Cat and Leaves

Our cat takes a break from watching the leaf shadows...

Shadow Shot Sunday Wisteria on Trellis

The wisteria on this trellis is dormant for winter.

Shadow Shot Sunday Winter Preparation

I was just about to roll the picnic table and umbrella into the garage when I noticed what an interesting shadow they cast. So I paused to take a shot. I hope you like it!

Shadow Shot Sunday Gnarled Tree Stump

This gnarled tree stump almost looks like a dinosaur. I came across it during a hike many years ago when we were a much healthier family. We visited the trail again this summer, but wife had a lot of difficulty and even fell twice.



And here's an interestingly-shaped stone that I found nearby.

Shadow Shot Sunday Country House

I took this last year while touring the grounds of the Hillstead Museum....

Shadow Shot Sunday Tree Line at the Airport

Autumn is in full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere. Our maple trees already are bare. Now the oaks have taken up the chorus of color with their muted tones of rust and burgundy.
