Seattle shadows and meme link
Oh, the last sunny days of summer. Maybe this year will be different, but many years in Seattle it turns cloudy and rainy at the beginning of September and just doesn’t seem to quit until July of the following year.
Here’s a shot of downtown Seattle taken a couple of days ago, in the late afternoon. Visit Shadow Shot Sunday for more kinds of shadows everywhere.
And here’s a link for those who love memes. This site has a list of more memes than you can believe! I’m gonna have to try me some new ones. In my spare time.

What a terrific shot, Sara! It does look as if the sun is getting ready for a long fall, winter, early spring nap!! Hate to see it go! It’ll surely make finding good shadows a lot more difficult.
Have a great weekend!

Very nice indeed! Seems you have a great day, huh?
Yeah! same here too… Feels we don’t have summer this year 2009. Wind, rain and chilly. Nothing to be proud of but anyhow, some days we’re hot… that I for sure be proud of.
Enjoy your Great day overthere—

Wow! This is like a parade of shadow shapes! Fascinating!

Whoa! From September through to July is a terribly long period of cloudy rainy weather. I don’t think I’d cope very well at all! A beautiful shadow shot! Thanks for the link to that meme site. Just had a quick look and was amazed by how many they have listed 🙂

Yes, Seattle is challenging in that regard. It has more cloudy days than any other city I know. It makes us positively euphoric when the sun shines! It’s also true that I may exaggerate slightly, but it sure FEELS like that.
Glad you enjoyed the meme list. I was amazed and know I will never, ever be bored.

GREAT shot! I love that late afternoon angle of the sun, and the special color of the light … wonderful.
