Stealthy Shadows Strike Again!



Shhhh...and yet another cell phone photo taken stealthily in a retail store! Don't tell!



Who could resist? I know all of you couldn't (that is, you SSS'ers!)
This one deserves a name. How about, "Pax de deux"?




My friend, Oma has all kinds of neat things just casually about her garden and yard. This one graces the bench that is next to their driveway. Sort of like a guard dog/dragon kind of thing. In a spirit sense.


Every week, a group of us (that would be the reference to the SSS'ers) from around the world post our shadow shots over at Hey Harriet. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can view all of my 2009 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account. Click here and then select the "Shadow Shot" set.

Love that Nureyev and Fontaine shot. great shadow play abd what a great little garden dragon! We only have a wombat.

The photo artist needs to capture artistry ay the right time. Clandestine if necessary!

The mechanical looking device leaves an artistic shadow. The dog/dragon leaves a massive shadow in line with his job Both are excellent!

You are so clever -- even when you're sneaky and I promise not to tell! Love both of your shots for the day! Dancers and dragons! Great combination! Enjoy your holiday weekend, Paula!

Dragon on duty,
advance if you dare; of flame,
trespasser, beware!

It's like taking a picture of the Amish, they don't appreciate it, yet I'm always trying to conceal my guilt after catching a shot, it's just that I respect their livelihood.

Ok. Sure thing. I'll not say a word. Your secret is safe with us :)

I love that photo of the guard dog/dragon thingie!

One of the best things about mobile phones is their ability to take a photo quietly! Since being a blogger I am almost completely immune to funny looks as to why I am photographing such and such, and I get such a thrill from a secret shot!
I love that dragon.

Shadow Shot Sunday

you daredevil you!! Have to laugh...were at a new antique mall yesterday and I was not secretly taking a couple of pictures of mirrors for a friend....one of the employees came up and asked if I was taking pictures - yes, I said, and writing down measurements...ha! When we left I had purchased a small plate and was looking at all of the signs...one BIG one said - no picture taking allowed - we will email you a picture if you need it - oooops! Well, it seems I had a nice worker that didn't want to get me in trouble!!

Love the shadow, as well as the shadow of the garden dragon - neat! We did have a lovely semi-long weekend - now we are playing catch up with SSS visits! Hope you had a nice weekend as well Paula!!
