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.

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.

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.

We caught a dry sunny spell a while back so I took the opportunity to walk around Lafortune Park here in Tulsa. The walking path is three miles long and encircles two golf courses, a tennis club, a public library and several little league baseball fields. Three miles is my sweet spot and I bet I have done hundreds of laps in the over thirty years we have lived here.
I love the netlike shadows that chain link fences make.
Trees always have great shadows
I don’t remember pursing my lips like this I didn’t notice it until afterwards. So this is my shadowy face, with a strange expression. Don’t worry, I’m not going to kiss you.

The sunrise is almost straight parallel with our backyard fence these days and it makes for some strange reflections on the fence like this shepherds crook and suet cake holder shadow I captured the other day.
I hope everyone in the USA experiencing cold weather stays warm and is keeping their pets inside.
A Christmas garland casts shadows in downtown Tulsa.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.
From the archives, a shadowy shot of my wife and son from ten years ago. I captured this at Idaho Fall’s Tautphaus Park Zoo on a sunny summer day.
I captured a shadow selfie on this elevated walkway on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain during a recent hike.
Saturday I took a short walk on a bicycle path to look for a geocache.
Across this funky enclosed bridge across Mooser Creek.
Next to this tree bunch casting some cool afternoon shadows.
The cache is somewhere in the rocks to the left of the tree. Ididn’t find the cache. It’s about the third time I’ve looked. Everybody else is finding it pretty easily. Oh well, I had a nice walk.
