Shadow Shot Time & Happy Weekend !

I have to combine a few other shots with my Shadow Shot .. the sky and garden demand it !


I think when I bought two of these beautiful wooden plates the person said they were Ukrainian .. their art reminds me of those amazing beautifully decorated  Easter eggs that they are famous for.
The shadows are both soft and yielding in some areas and yet hard and linear in others ..
Some what like life ?
To follow us "shadow shooters" make sure to click on the icon to the right  .. our world is full of light and dark at play !

Thursday night had a glorious moon that I captured with my older camera .. Friday I made sure I set up the long zoom range on my new camera to be ready ... and of course it changed its position and I missed it .. but my faithful older camera snapped it up for me in any case !

I have to post some flowers in honour of Easter weekend .. so here are a couple from my garden .. which is waking up slowly again and demanding attention of course !


Fresh and natural from my garden to you all .. have a wonderful weekend !

So Joy, how is the new camera treating you? Lovely shots, of course I am drawn to the crocus, love the way they spill down the screen in the shot.

You have bulbs blooming...hmmmm. I need to search out some around here, there has got to be some. LOL.

I'm fascinated by the wooden plate. It's gorgeous!

Your flowers are lovely. Your Spring has finally sprung. :)

I like the shadowy face of the moon, looking so impressive on this clear and cloudless evening - wonderfully captured! The easter plants are lovely, especially the lavender ones - it looks as its petals are aimed upward in appreciation of the warm sun feeding it lavishly. So cool...Happy Easter!

The shadows create a fascinating canvas for displaying the beauty of those wooden plates! And your moon is so full of romantic beauty!

Lovely photo of the moon. So clear. I like how you have the crocus coming up through the lamium. Wonderful background for them. You've given me an idea.

Hi Joy, I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend. That is a terrific close-up of the moon and the one of the hellebores (in the header) is also just great! I was out in the garden all afternoon and it was marvellous! I cleared out the dead evergreens from my planters and put in some pansies. Your crocus look so nice, I wish now that I had planted more.
