I saw this dappled sunlight (my favorite) on a path back in September. What a beautiful day it was, and the scene seems to call for dancing fairies, or pan pipes.

For more shadows of all kinds, visit Shadow Shot Sunday. And it’s certainly a good post for Scenic Sunday, and SOOC (straight out of the camera) as well.

Wandering through some old photos, I found this one from ten years ago, taken in Santa Rosa, California in a bagel shop. Looks like shadows intrigued me even then. For more fascinating shadows, visit Shadow Shot Sunday.

Again, I’m going to be away for a few days, so I’ll try to visit when I return.

Here in Seattle we have a special kind of weather called a sunbreak. It’s so cloudy so often, that when the sun peeks through briefly, we rejoice and grab our cameras. At least I do. Here’s the view from my bedroom window, catching the very last leaves of the dogwood tree.

For more shadows scenes, visit Shadow Shot Sunday. And this photo, like most of the ones in this blog, is SOOC, or straight out of the camera. Also check out Scenic Sunday for little slices of heaven, sometimes in a backyard, like this one.

This was in a garden I visited last month. It’s been typical fall (gray) weather in Seattle for the last week or two and this kind of brilliant sunshine seems far, far away. For more shadows seen with awakened eye, visit Shadow Shot Sunday. And for more scenic shots, visit Scenic Sunday.

Here is a bouquet I picked last week. The sun came out strong and before I took them to a cooler location, of COURSE I took this photo.

For more shadows of all types and descriptions, visit Shadow Shot Sunday.

This is one of my very top faves, taken just a few weeks ago. It’s straight out of the camera, too (most of these blog posts are, but this one really looks fake!) and I just like it a lot. Hope you do, too.

For more scintillating shadows seen, visit Shadow Shot Sunday. Have a sibilant day!

Downtown Burien Washington, south of Seattle, is really getting spiffed up. A new town square is home to fairs, sculpture, the works. Here’s a shadow shot for you from a recent afternoon. For more shadows around the world seen so very creatively, visit Shadow Shot Sunday.

This is one of the simple, old fashioned roses, still so perfect in its way. Visit Pink Saturday for more visions of pinkness.

And Shadow Shot Sunday has great shadows, too!

Here’s a shadow shot for you today. The weather continues, amazingly, to be mostly warm and sunny here in Seattle, even well past Labor Day. It’s supposed to be over 80 later this week! Hope you are enjoying your own weather, getting outside and breathing deep, wherever you are.

Visit Shadow Shot Sunday for more fascinating shadow visions.

Here’s another photo from our camping trip last month. The weather last couple of days has been exceptionally fine, and I was reminded of this woodland path near Mt. Rainier. Dappled sunlight is my very favorite thing. Shall we take a walk?

For more mysterious shadows creatively seen, visit Shadow Shot Sunday. And for more scenic loveliness, visit Scenic Sunday.
