Shadow Shot Sunday



Happy New Year!

I'm starting 2009 with photos from last year. First is a Christmas candle, which is sitting on the shelf at the top of my computer desk.



We put our Christmas gifts into two big baskets, one green, one red. For a day or two after the Big Day, I leave my opened gifts in the basket.













Clicking to enlarge the picture will show you a clearer shadow.






And finally, just because it is the new year, a bottle and a glass. Of course, this happen to be a water bottle, but you get the idea.



Tracey hosts Shadow Shot Sunday at Hey Harriet. Go visit, view lots of interesting shadows, and join in yourself if you like.

That water bottle made a really interesting shadow. Fun to find them and create them, isn't it?

Great idea for displaying the gifts. I always leave mine under the tree until after New Year. I like the bottle and glass image for NY.

What neat shadows those baskets make, as does the water bottle, they always amaze me though.

The water bottle makes a beautiful, variegated shadow! And the basket idea is so lovely!

Great collection of photos!

Such neat ideas for shadows... you really don't think about them until someone else points them out!

Ah! It maybe a water bottle on the outside, but what was in the water bottle to start the new year? I know. Just plain water, right?

All very nice shadows, but the baskets are my favorite. Lisa

A wonderful set of shadows. I especially like the third one of the red basket and the two cute bears in the corner. Very sweet!

Happy 2009 :)

I love the last photo and the shadows of the bottle and glass. Wait until I get my sketch pad, reminiscent of art class 101!

I love the shadoes created by sun through blinds or in this case the basket and the bottle - all that detail is so cool!!

Neat selections of shadows..Until this meme, I hadn't given them any thought at all...

The baskets are a great idea. The girls all leave theirs on the LR sofa for weeks after the day. I think next year I will give them each a basket to keep them in!

I like the warm shaft of light on one SS and the bottle and glass are striking.

Happy SSS!
