"Go With Grace"
"Go With Grace". That's what I named this photograph I took. Of course, it didn't look like that when I took it-it's gone through some pass-throughs in photo software, but there is such an element of tranquility for me in this image. The statue (believe it or not) lives in a friend's yard up in Angel Fire, NM. OK, that's funny-angel in Angel Fire (sorry!).
MAGIC
We were with some friends having dinner at the Prairie Star Restaurant and I stopped mid sentence to pull my camera out to take this image. I know you all understand this being in the moment thing about shadows-otherwise you wouldn't be a fellow SSS participant! It looks like the glass is floating, doesn't it? Well, it KIND of is. I discovered this cool shadow as I was raising my glass of wine to take a sip! You all know what happened after that!

Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can view all of my 2011 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account.

The angel is so approachable that the bird, perhaps a peaceful dove, lands and sits in satisfaction and safety in the palm of one of God's heavenly servants...this table setting is remarkable in its shadowy art - the stemware base leaves a shadow that looks like an eclipse against the sun - with a very cool sunburst at the epicenter. A fabulous capture, a great appertif to a fun dinner!
Gorgeous shadow shots, Paula, as always and I do love your composition! You have a wonderful way of putting shots together! Fantastic! Enjoy your weekend!!
Oh...oh...love both photos but especially the wine glass!! So love that you stop mid-sentence to capture shadows...you rock paula girl!!!
Peace on Earth... and I loving that.
Whimsical is always like magic, indeed.
Hope you have a great week-end. Happy SSS and hugs from rainy Stockholm,

You did a great job on these shots today.
The little angel is so lovely with the little bird sitting in her hand. The wine glass shot is great as well. I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who stops, at what non-shadows seekers believe to be odd times, to capture a shadow. Many times if you hesitate the shot is lost as shadows fade.
Great Job!!
Sounds like a fun and fine dining !
Any advise and tips you could give to my shadow shot entry would be so much appreciated. Have a blessed Sunday.
haha!! love it...the shadow and you taking out your camera during dinner with friends :) Also love your Angel Fire angel....Grace is the perfect name for her!! Do enjoy your week Paula...wishing you lots of shadows!
It is magic - you just helped a little bit :)
Have a good week!
Love that shadow shot you took in the restaurant. And of course I understand. :))
