Shadow Shot Sunday – Pneumbra
Starting out on a run after work last Fall.
My shadow was cast clear across a four lane street.
Yogi Pneumbra?
Shadow Shot Sunday – Downtown
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.
Shadow Shot Sunday – Early Morning Gas Company Shadows
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.
Botanica Shadows
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.
Cocktail Reception Shadows
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.
Reaching for the Sky
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.

Thou Shalt Not Covet thy Neighbors Windows
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?

Shadow Shot Sunday – Teaching Gardens
Nope, its not Benjamin Franklin, it is the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. Namesake of the Tulsa Garden Center’s Linnaeus Teaching Gardens. If you are in Tulsa sometime. Check it out. It is small but it is packed. If you know what I mean, and its free. Even the parking is free. Take your camera is my advice.
It has got lots of plants if that is what you are looking for. It has lots of shadows also.
This is my new satellite office. Shady in the Summer, sunny in the Fall. All I need is WiFi and a coffeepot and I’m ready to roll.
I love nice benches. Isn’t there a blog meme featuring benches? I can’t find it on Google. I just know that somebody will let me know.
Maybe this could be a satellite office also.
Yeah, well SuperPizzaBoy beat me to it. I snooze, I lose. That’s our family rule.

Hey its Sunday. Here’s my text for today.
Genesis 1: 11‑12
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed‑bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
