Late afternoon shadows on our backyard patio late in the afternoon. The strips of light is from the sun peaking through the gaps in our picket fence.
Went on a walk at a local park. No basketball games today. I played ball on these type courts growing up. Sometimes when it snowed we would shovel off the snow the best we could and play on the wet court.

This is Sadie the dog on a walk. She does really well walking. Since my knee is still healing I can’t walk as fast as she wants me to go. Up ahead is Kodi the Pomeranian being walked by my wife.
Went on a walk the other day at Washington Irving Park in the southern Tulsa suburb of Bixby. Washington Irving came through the area and camped near here in 1832. That’s a long time ago by Oklahoma standards. I can do a nice easy one mile loop in this quiet pleasant place.

The northwst corner of our backyard is looking a little dismal right now at the tail end of winter but I love teh shadow of our north/south fence projected on our east/west fence. And we got a bonus tree shadow from our neighbor and a bird feeder shadow. Just don’t look at the cast about yard furniture, random utility boxes, leaves and other debris.
Anybody familiar with the Hipstamatic App on camera phones. That was the whole reason I got an ipod way back when. My employer at the time wouldn’t pay for an iphone so I used their flip phone and bought an ipod for my photographic adventures. That was also back in the day when I loved inexpensive plastic film cameras and all the special effects that you do with them. Hipstamatic was an iphone/ipod app that simulated making crappy photos with interesting effects. I ended up with a ton of different filters for it. I’ve drifted away from the app but I noticed that they had new filters where they are trying to incorporate the look of Frida Kahlo into the results. So hey I went and got the filter.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who had her own style of painting. Check out her Wikipedia Page.
I went outside and took a few pics. A few of them even had shadows in them.
So I don’t know if this how Kahlo would paint my backyard. I think she used a lot more vivid colors.
But I enjoy checking out new things.

From back in December, my therapy cat Lizzy found a sun puddle upstairs and was taking full advantage. She looks a little grumpy I think because I didn’t give her a chance to groom herself. She hates bedraggled photos of herself.

We got a little bit of snow last night. When I got up this morning, the light was a golden color and I needed a shadow so I went captured this shot of a chair shadow.
The other day we had a lot of fog in the neighborhood, and I liked the way the streetlight near our house looked so I attempted an artsy shot to capture what it looked like. I didn’t really succeed in what I was trying but I liked the shot anyway.
The streetlight cast a shadow I hadn’t even noticed when I took the shot. It made a shadow out of the adjacent stop sign. So even though I didn’t get what I was wanting, I am happy with the shadow I captured.
Also with shadows, today is Groundhog Day. We don’t have a groundhog but we got two chunky critters. Kodi,
And Lizzy,
They both saw their shadow. So I guess that we are going to have six more weeks of winter. You folks in the southern hemisphere, I guess you get six more weeks of summer, I don’t know how that works.
