Flotsam

Sand, dried grasses and rose hips beneath the feet.

 Six steps up towards the Sound.

 Two chairs --with requisite shadows!

And a collection of the stuff that washes up on the beach.

 There is no one there but us which is rather odd but nice........

So it was fun to float around like a little bit of seaweed

 or a feather.....

Shadow Shot Sunday/Finally

The studio windowsill about 4pm.

Paper piled on the radiator and the blind pulled

down against the too-hot summer light.

This photo is by the amazing photographer Susanna Gordon.
I'm doing a post and book giveaway in conjunction with her

on my other blog.

Waiting for Their Morning Walk/Shadowshotsunday

These characters usually live over on Buster's blog but 

the shadows and color contrasts were rather fun.

Shadow Shot Sunday/Bedtime

Henry comes to visit.

Spring at Last

Warm enough to drag the leather sofa outside  and to sit in the sun in a short sleeved shirt. 

Cell phone a necessary accessory.

White blossoms and bare branches at the same time

any moment the leaves will unfurl.

Angular: Shadows

                                                                      Verdigris on the sidewalk 18th Street.

Looking for shadows has become quite a Saturday habit.

A work in progress on Robert's  table

Venetian blinds are a godsend if you need stripes.

                                                                      Windows on 22nd  Street

This fashionista pigeon, with its nice bright red feet, 

 color co-ordinates with a cafe on 8th Avenue.

 

Saturday: Shadows, Squares and Colors

What a hideous old radiator. What messy scraps of paper on it.

The morning light makes it tolerable.

Isabel and I take pictures of the best recent piece

 of public art in New York. So many squares.

Later we go to a notions shop in my least favorite part of town.

The ribbons made me want to turn into

 the sort of person who does crafts all the time.

I love this color and this one, and what about that one?

Such goggle-eyed greed.

Shadows and Details

Morning light makes stripes from the very old Windsor chair.

Construction above the High Line.

Do I live there? Almost.

Two leaves fall prematurely on a table at the Half King.

Iced water. Sunhat. Summer.

Near 10th Avenue/ShadowShot

For lots of cool shadowshots go to Heyharriet here.

As I was walking down 23rd Street between 10th and

 11th Avenues, I came upon these nice quiet stones.

Noon. Saturday.

Yellow and Bars/Shadow Shot Sunday

As ever, Tracy of Hey Harriet has the list of happy Shadowshotters.

Enjoy!

All of you who enjoy shadows go here to see amazing art done with shadows

Construction or renovation on 21st Street pretending

 to be an art installation.

The bliss of a totally blank sheet of paper.

Color coordinated bike and car...

A man leaves a building.

Upper West side

Lace curtain behind bars.

19th Street.

20th Street

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....

Cultural Heritage: Bohemian Beer Garden, Queens

All good New York journeys begin on the subway...

where I spy a Bohunk heading to Queens in search of beer. 

(You can recognize them by their large hands.)

Astoria Boulevard has shadows for Shadow Shot Sunday.

You can tell we are entering central Europe by the bar signs...

and the oompah band

and little girls in lovely costumes

and lots of people eating pork and sauerkraut and dumplings

and poppy seed cake

and dancing....

and drinking Pilsner Urquell or even water.

Shadow Shot Sunday/ Spring Light

For all the other ShadowShot participants go here.

Morning Light on 8th Avenue.

An old door and a new one. Little 12th Street.

The new building on 23rd Street.

For some reason the tarp billows artistically.

Christo might like it.
