Shadow Shot Sunday



On this Shadow Shot Sunday I am visiting a back road lined with phragmites. I know that these wetlands reeds are often considered a nuisance, but I love them. They are so beautiful when the sun shines through their silky tassels. On this day I enjoyed seeing the shadows they create along the road.










If you would like to see many more photos of shadows, or if you would like to join in, please visit Tracey at Hey Harriet. You will find us here every week.

  4. I never knew what these things were called. In my mind I was thinking they were "pampas grass" and left it at that, but it's great to know (they are everywhere here) what they are!

  15. I too love the tall prairie grasses, which is why I don't mow my 6 acres, good food for birds. Cool shots!

    The photos are lovely and I definitely miss all of those back roads, which can be such a beautiful drive.
