Bench with Shadows ... or Shadows with Bench???

I saw this intriguing shadow shot in town a couple of weeks ago.

It was hard, even when standing across the street, to tell where the bench ended and the shadows began!

I am joining in with "Shadow Shot Sunday 2" today.

Bolt with Shadow Heart

The sun was lower in the sky than it usually is when I go for my walk.

Maybe that's why I never noticed this rusty bolt with shadow heart before!

Peeking Through the Shadows ...

Taggers and graffiti artists leave colors and patterns
On the walls of The Abandoned ...
To be discovered anew each day
By fingers of the sun
Piercing the shadows of the night ...
Illuminating the mystery of this place.

Old Fence, Old Photo

This is another old photo taken by Grampa/Grandma G during one of their many road trips throughout the US West.

I don't know where this was taken, or exactly when ... and the photo is a bit blurry with time. But I kind of like it this way!

Al's new meme "Sunday Scans" is up and running - so go through your old stuff - scan it, post it, and join us for a lot of fun - and wonderful memories!!!

Graffiti Reflections - Weekend Reflections

Graffiti on a mirror in a dark bathroom at the once-abandoned mega-church ... casts reflections and shadows at the same time ...

And is that a little shadow heart I see?

James over at "Newtown Area Photo" hosts the wonderful Weekend Reflections.
He has been such an inspiration to me - this meme has changed the way I see the world!

So ... when I found this graffiti, I thought of you, James!
Feel free to copy this picture if you want, just for fun.

Surfer Dudes and Their Shadows ...

While I was surprised at the snow that fell on the beach last week ...
I was even more surprised that the surfers were still out!

They didn't last long. After they braved the cold Pacific ocean for a while, they stopped to wash the salt from their wet suits ... and change into warm clothes. We couldn't help but laugh at some of the antics they employed to keep from, er, being "exposed" to the elements!

The late afternoon sun peeked out just long enough to catch some amazing shadows.

REALLY! It was the SHADOWS that I was taking pictures of!!!
Seriously!!!
Snicker.

It wasn't until I got home and was going through my pictures that I noticed the strange diffused and almost yellow lighting ... and realized that's what I got from taking the pictures from behind the screen door. (Now why would I be there???)
And they really are Straight Out Of the Camera!

Blueberry Leaf - Autumn's Treasures and Shadows

The blueberry leaves are showing their Autumn colors ... Reds ...

Yellows ...

Greens ...

Shadows arranged on the leaves whisper of what will soon be ...
Empty branches, awaiting Spring ...

Recycled Table and Bench - Shadow Shot Sunday

An interesting table and bench I found while walking near the river ...
At first glance, it's a peaceful and shadow-dappled oasis ...

As you look closer, you will see how creative it is ...
Made from old concrete slabs.

Talk about recycling!

I Ain't Touching That Thing! - Shadow Shot Sunday

None of the kids would actually touch the poor little millipede - but they were worried about it being out in the sun.
They tried to pick it up with their shadow hands, but it kept getting away!

(We finally picked it up with a piece of paper and put it into the shade).

Pitch Shadows ... Shadow Shot Sunday

A beautiful sight, these sparkling gems of pitch.
Leaving their shadows against the tree ...

But they have a darker side ...
This tree is going to die.
It's life blood is flowing away.
Like tears.
