I took this in Sonoma County, California on a February day. Actually, February is a great time of year there as the grass is very green, as you can see, and the old apple trees reveal their shapes so beautifully.

This photo just interests me.  I don’t even mind that the group of picnickers is sort of cut off. It just gave me a funny feeling, that  huge lawn, the brief shadow as the sun peeked out. I hope you like it also.

The other morning there was a surprise inch of snow on the ground. Soon the sun came out and it was gone, but before it did, I caught this shadow underneath the big old cedar tree out back.

Here is one of my favorite shots, of the Kent golf course, taken from a moving car! I love the bright yellow colors made by the late day sun against the dark gray sky. We surely have interesting weather in Seattle when the sun comes out.

Today’s weather was in the high 40s at least, so I was able to be out in the garden pulling weeds, which I actually enjoy doing. I thought I’d show a snow photo from December as a bit of contrast. Snow could happen again, of course, but we wouldn’t have the pretty Christmas lights if it did. And I know they’re not really shadows, but so pretty anyway I thought I might get away with it as a shadow post.

The only good thing about the short days is that the slanted light is still there when I get up. I am not an early riser. It was quite cold the other morning, but the mustang horse in the pasture next door doesn’t seem to mind any weather at all.

This from a fall afternoon in the old house in Des Moines WA. You can actually ripen grapes in chilly Seattle, but you must have the vine planted in a southern exposure in as warm a spot as you can find. It worked! I hated to leave this grapevine we planted. It had super sweet, tiny loose bunches of tender yellow-green grapes. And the leaves were so beautiful in the late afternoon.

This was taken in March at the other house, and the light in it seems so bright and clear on this dim January day today. But I read the sun rises at 7:44 and sets at 5:00 tomorrow, so we’re up to over nine hours of daylight, up from a mere 8 at solstice. The days do lengthen, but so slowly.
