Shadow Shot Sunday – Living Screens

This ivy (or whatever it is) at Tulsa’s Guthrie Green provides some cooling shade in the summer from Oklahoma’s brutal sun and heat. In the winter it provides some shadows.

A short distance away a bamboo fence (or whatever it is) provides a green all year screen between a parking lot and the sidewalk.

You can tell I know all about plants!! Never had a lesson!

Shadow Shot Sunday – Downtown Tulsa Shadows

Autumn is here and some of the trees are changing colors. We are several weeks behind friends in Colorado and elsewhere higher and further north.

There is still lots of green. I love this ramada at Guthrie Green just north of downtown. Nice and shady in the summer and sunny in the winter when all the leaves fall off.

Our downtown Library is reopening after a three year renovation. I’ll be going there later today to check it out. Solar heating, rainwater collection systems, revamped heating and air,  a 3D printer, enhanced technology. I haven’t heard anything about books. Do libraries still have books? You can depend on me to let you know.

I’m linking with Shadow Shot Sunday (even though it is Saturday). Sunday will be here soon enough.
