I went out for a walk early yesterday morning
in search of Shadows for ShadowShotSunday.
I peered through the iron railings into the gardens of the
General Seminary
where for a little while I was a volunteer gardener.
I looked at the other side of the street.
Morning light, railings. Yes, shadows there.
And the old roses on the Seminary railing......
And the leaves of the virginia creeper.
Shadows almost too intricate and complicated....
Those golden hours of morning and evening give the most excellent shadows! I could almost smell the roses too.
ReplyDeleteThe word ethereal pops into my head as I gaze at the railing shadows.
ReplyDeleteIf one didn't know it, one would hardly guess this was NYC.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, magical, like in a fairy tale :)
ReplyDeleteI want to live inside these pictures! That is my ideal world, I think.
ReplyDeleteOur garden is pretty swell, too; the weather was just glorious this weekend. We ate almost every meal outside.
Pretty shots! Those pale pink roses on the railing look like my Eden variety.
ReplyDeleteLovely shadows... I sometimes have difficulty finding interesting ones, but yours are terrific interspersed with the roses!
ReplyDeleteThe railing photos are beautiful with the intricacy of the iron work. Beautiful roses!
ReplyDeleteI love early-morning light and shadows. They make me feel like I'll be taking full advantage of the day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images.

ReplyDeleteI loved each one of these photos! wonderful!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteall these images keep not only intricate shadows, they are full of wonder too! Simply gorgeous.
I thoroughly enjoyed coming aling your peeking expedition!
These shadows are stunning. I'm learning so much from your photos, how to notice things and where to look. I'll be looking for shadows now. Thank you!

ReplyDeletejust playing catch~up
with blog~hopping
after my travels
And
had to tell you how much
i loved your book list
a few postings back.
:-)
loved!!!! that you did
the Trashy Books genre!
we call them Beach Books
around here...
the ones you pack for the beach
the ones that take your mind
away to adventure
so very different
from your own everyday life.,
or
at least from mine...
this one---->
The Valley of the Dolls
by Jacqueline Susann
was so wicked for its day,
wasn't it.
i wonder how it would read today.
maybe i will find a copy
for my next Beach Day.
ps--I enjoy how you stalk
the shadow pics.
one never knows where they will be
and yours always do
catch
the
eye.
i lovelovelove looking at ny through your lens elizabeth...these are lovely...an older gentler ny..
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some shadows to photograph. Love the roses.

Good late afternoon, early evening shadow shots. I'm especially drawn to your photo of the red brick wall and the red door. What a luscious colour!
ReplyDeleteLove that second photo! And the roses are certainly pretty :)
