Toys In The Attic

Oh. Not in the attic, but on the shelf. 

Don't worry, they're harmless! 

I have random toys on the shelf above my computer and in my art studio. Reminders to keep things light and not take things too seriously. Although, you know, there have been many a time when I felt like that little guy in the orange suit in the bottom left of the photo. I was shutting down the lights in the room one night and only one lamp was left and this little scene caught my eye. Of course, when there's shadows involved, out comes the camera. Just so  you know, though, that these are not toys that I have gone out to buy-they are 'leftovers', or cast offs from my son when he was younger. I just want to make that clear!

See through

A vignette in my dining room window through the sheers. I've had this image sitting around waiting to be posted since the holidays (Christmas, not Easter). Which should explain the snowflake shadow. I hope! I was actually trying to capture the shadow of the birds that were coming to the feeder outside the window. It was like a shadow puppet play except with live birds. That file got 'truncated' so I can't post it or do anything with it (wah!). Maybe you can 'imagine' it??  : )

"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." (Martin Luther King)

Every week, a group of us 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 2010 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account. Click here to view them.
