With all the bright sunshine we've had this past week, there was lots of opportunity to get some interesting shadows.
Had I bothered to venture outside.
Now that it is a bit cooler, I could have gone out today (Saturday)..... but I was watching the World Cup. Then I watched the Tour de France.
Then the sun began to set a little lower in the sky.
I don't have trees to create shade, but I do love the way the blinds make lines on the wall when the sun is at a certain level.
On the balcony, I have an old plant stand that creates an interesting pattern

and these tendrils from a passion flower are quickly creeping up the wall and attaching themselves to anything they can grab hold of
so I try to guide them towards the trellis and wait for the blooms
here is one now!
see other shadowy figures at SundayStills
now.......
Go, Netherlands, go!
Hup, Holland, hup!
The Tour de France has been fascinating - so many thrills and spills.
ReplyDeleteYou found some lovely shadows and the passion flower is gorgeous. We grew one once but it failed to flower - ever - and then it died.
Wonderful shadow pics!! And that flower is awesome!!

I have always loved the shadows of venetian blinds on a wall. That is a fabulous picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Hup, Holland, hup!
Those shadows are really nice. I especially like that grill with the fancy stuff!
ReplyDeleteI've got on my orange shirt and will be heading out to the sports bar to support the Netherlands today!
lovely photos, I love patterns!
ReplyDeleteThe match is on as we speak. I am sad Germany only got to no. 3.

Visiting from somewhere else. I've enjoyed your photos. It's cool here but we are also watching the Tour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shadow photos - you don't necessarily have to venture out to get good pictures.

ReplyDeleteshadow,shadow baby,
ReplyDeletelove your shadow shots.
I love the blind shadows...I've always liked that, too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a white passion flower! My MIL's is purple. I like.
Love the photos! The plant stand is really neat.
ReplyDeleteYou have an eye for catching unique shadows! And I like your exotic plant in the past photo :D
ReplyDeletePassion flowers are beautiful (wonder why they got that name>)
ReplyDeleteSadly to say, our cheers for Holland did not help enough!...may I cry on your shoulder? Sigh - at least they got in the finals!
What lovely captures of shadow play.
ReplyDeleteThe old plant stand and its shadow reminds me of Marocco or any other northern african place. Lovely shot!
