Shadows from Space to the Neighborhood

Lunar Eclipse on 58/28/2026

Here’s the biggest shadow I have ever photographed. The lunar eclipse earlier this week. I made the image small because otherwise it is just kind of big and blobby. (Blobby is a word here in Oklahoma, just so you know.) Did you get to see the eclipse. Did you get a non-blobby photo of it!

Turkey Mountain lost and found

Here is a Lost and Found shadow. Somebody at the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area here in Tulsa had the good idea put a lost and found basket at the base of map stand at the park. I think the drilled hole shadows are cool.

Sadie and Alan in the backyard

And here is a trailcam photo of our backyard. That is Sadie the rescue terrier in the sun and I am in the shade behind her. Both our dogs are sun dogs. They love laying out in the heat of the day. Note the temperature, note the burnt grass. Here in Tulsa we average eleven 100+ days a year, so far we have had 22 and we have a solid 7 day forecast for over 100F temperatures coming up this week.

Sadie - Dog walk shadows

The mornings are cooler though so I have been taking Sadie for a walk. I love dog walking shadows.

Sadie dog walking shadows

Here’s a variation on a dog walking shadow, a picket fence shadow overlaid on a dog walking shadow. Who says I cannot do two things at the same time?

Neighborhood Greenbelt Shadows

You can tell it was early. Here’s a long morning shadow of a tree in our neighborhood greenbelt.

I am linking up with Shadow Shot Sunday. Check it out!!

    You have been having an awfully hot summer. I feel for you, after having experienced the summer of 1980 in Wichita, Kansas. My husband had an outdoor job that summer, too. Ugh! Thank you for the moon photo; our sky, as usual, was clouded up. Seems to happen almost every time there is a celestial event. Alana ramblinwitham
