They have more than animals at Idaho Falls’ Tautphaus Park Zoo.
They got some nice shady shadowy places to rest.
Sweetie and SuperPizzaBoy took advantage of the bench.
We are back in Tulsa now and we are loading SPB up to drive half a day down to Texas to deliver him to a Summer Camp. We’re going to miss him! But we are going to have fun ourselves. I hope that we remember to go pick him up.
Starting out on a run after work last Fall.
My shadow was cast clear across a four lane street.
Yogi Pneumbra?
The sun is low this time of year, even at noon. It contributes to the cool weather but makes for great shadows.
Cross hatch pattern on the side of a building with an old school fire escape.
Shadow of tree and light pole. I don’t know what kind of tree it is that still has its leaves this late in the year.
Early Morning Shadows
First up, Natural Gas Lantern Shadow on the Parking Garage. The gas is how you know we are not Public Service Company of Oklahoma, the electric utility.
Backing off a bit
Second, the Federal Courthouse Flag and Shadows, from the Gas Company Office. Do you see both flag shadows?
Happy New Year to my fellow bloggers, family, and friends.
I was in Wichita, Kansas recently attending an energy industry convention. While there I took a little time out to visit Botanica, Wichita’s wonderful little known gem of a botanical garden.
I have to tell you I’m not much of a flower person. I mean I love them but I don’t know one from another. I love gardens. To me gardens are much more than flowers. Flowers are very important of course but so is how they are planted in relation to the other plants and settings.
How the garden makes use of shadow and light is just as important as any other component. The key is how it all fits in. People go to gardens for the total experience, not to just look at plants. You can go to nursery to do that.
Gardens engage all our senses, sight, hearing, touch, feeling, smell. There is something ancient and comforting about being in a garden. I think the being is important. You should go to a garden and just “be.”
Of course, so that you can just “be,” somebody else had to work their butt off.
I also posted about Botanica last year.
I was at a reception early April where the lighting from the front of the room made some interesting shadows of the people in line at the bar.
I took a walk Saturday at a local park with my Diana plastic lens film camera. This tree has always looked animated to me. Today it looked like it had reached almost to the sun.

I have coveted the windows of this building for some time. The building is vacant and if I had a gazillion bucks I would buy it and own these windows.
You could come and visit and we could chat and drink coffee while basking in the bright winter sunlight pouring through my windows.
Are you up for that?
