Sue’s Word A Week Challenge on A Word In Your Ear at http://suellewellyn2011.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/a-word-a-week-photograph-challenge-shadow/ is Shadow.
Skillfully pruned pines cast distorted shadows on the snow in the Japanese Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Our little granddaughter racing to keep ahead of her shadow. I can’t take the credit for this picture. My son-in-law, her Uncle C, captured it as they were coming home from the park but it was so cute that I just had to include it.
Shadows emphasize the path across a bridge at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle.
A shadow is cast on The Sundial, a sculpture in the Plant Evaluation Garden of the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Shadows criss-cross the old red barn at Volkening Heritage Farm in Schaumburg.
Oh I just love shadows:) The small girl is fantastic, all are great captures!
Thank you, Linda!
Great shadows. I love the one with the little girl.
Thank you, Angela!
beautiful!
Thanks, Cindy!
You’ve done well to make good use of the shadows. They are usually a pest.
Thanks, Tootlepedal! Usually I avoid shadows like the plague as I have absolutely no idea how to cope with that kind of situation with my camera but these turned out not too badly, more by luck than judgment.
As Arnold Palmer is supposed to have remarked when he holed out from a bunker and an onlooker said, “That was lucky.”
“The more I practise, the luckier I seem to get.”
I am sure that applies to you.
The little girl is so cute… Racing to keep ahead of her shadow!
Thank you! My son-in-law has a good eye for photo opportunities and he caught this one beautifully.
Nice collection of shadow photos, I find shadows a problem, maybe you will inspire me to some good shadow photos, Annie
Thanks, Annie! I was lucky to find these among my files. I’m sure if I set out deliberately to take pictures of shadows they wouldn’t have turned out nearly so well!
