Captured a grackle shadow on our back fence earlier this month as one grackle moved another off a feeder. Grackles are noisy, aggressive, invasive birds but sometimes a lot of fun to watch.

Shadow Shot Sunday – Solar Geometry Shadow
Here is a view of shadows on our north fence of our backyard. The shadows come from the left from our west fence. It almost looks like our fence is translucent. It took me a while to figure this one out.

Shadowy Lawnmower and Chris Isaak!!
On a recent trip to the Tulsa Botanic Garden they displayed a Lego Lawnmower in a Shadow!! It would be nice if it worked but it would probably shake itself into thousands of pieces.
Happy Easter to you and your family. Also, Lego Easter Bunnies!
AAAAnnnnndddd! As part of Music Moves Me, I bring you a Chris Isaak Song. Check out RamblinWithAM to check out other entries.
Botanic Garden Shadows
My wife and I visited the Tulsa Botanic Garden Saturday to check out the tulips and other flowers and plants. I saw lots of those and also a few shadows.
I thought these bright containers and colorful tulips contrasted nicely with the shadows created by the steps and the handrail.
The garden has an exhibit of life sized animals made out of Legos. I thought this placement of the Lego coyote in the shadows was perfect.
On the deck at reception building I loved this complex pattern of shadows.

ShadowShot Sunday – Spring Shadows
Here is Heather and I taking the dog for a walk. I love shadow selfies. I look so skinny and you can’t tell my hair is almost gone. It does look like I am missing arms though.
When I was out on my daffodil photo expedition I noticed clump of flowers cast a pretty good shadow.

Shadowy Snuggles
I’m always on the lookout for shadows. Heather and I were at an Irish Festival here in Tulsa on Saturday evening enjoying listening to Irish Music. It seems like that even the most modest of music events now days there is a huge investment in lighting and video stuff in addition to the sound. Anyway, I noticed a shadow formed by a security barrier and a snuggling couple near the stage. (What is it about music and alcohol leads to snuggling? Asking for a friend, wait a minute, I already know, forget I asked).

Shadow Shot Sunday – On the Trails
A bike shadow during a ride last week on Tulsa’s RiverParks trails. In the background, on the other side of the river, is the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness.
And strolls on a stroll at Broken Arrow’s Ray Harral Nature Park.

Shadow Shot Sunday – Valentines Shadows and More
On Valentine’s Day my bride, Heather, and I visited the Philbrook Museum here in Tulsa. I found this shadow outside. It reminded me of a carpet runner.
And then here is me casting my shadow on another set of stairs.
We warmed up briefly here in Oklahoma and I declared it to be the year’s first shorts day. I went to Ray Harral Nature Center and captured this shadow on their revamped hiking trail bridge.
Toward the end of my outing the I found this scene where the pine tree crown is in the sun while the bottom of the trees are getting shadowed by the declining sun.

Shadow on the Mountain
My son and I have been on a couple of hikes lately on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain. We found this old oil well pumpjack foundation. Oil was discovered on the mountain in the 1920’s and production continued until the 1960’s. There are lots of old relics of the industry scattered about on the mountain. I personally know people who worked on these wells.
We went by this old wellhead. Don’t worry it’s safe.
A new pedestrian bridge on a new trail.
And a birdhouse in the middle of the mountain.
