The weather has been so cold and rainy in Seattle (except for that ONE magnifcent day a week ago) that I must go to the archives for a decent shadow shot. But I’m glad I remembered I had this one. I had just a second to get the photo before a car came by and the sun went behind a cloud. You’ve got to be so quick with shadows in this neck of the woods, for in just a moment it may be gone, like so many things.

Visit Shadow Shot Sunday for more perfect penumbras. And I call this an entry for Scenic Sunday as well. But do wander a bit here and there into new tags and categories if you have a moment. Click on Sara’s Fave Photos anytime you’d like to get back to the full blog.

This photo of cherry trees in bloom in the hazy sunshine is from a couple of weeks ago. Spring is moving fast here, with the big pink and white trees and the yellow forsythia now mostly giving way to the spring bulbs beginning. I wanted to show you this amazing street in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle before it was too long past.

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.

Oh, the joys of a sunny day are so much magnified when spotting shadows is your game. Here’s a bouquet of shadow shapes for you today, aka a tree. If you crave yet more of the ephemeral penumbra, visit Hey Harriet’s blog at Shadow Shot Sunday. It’s one of the best places in the blogosphere.
