Shadow Shot Sunday!

Suburbia’s Heaven – Finished with the mowing. I dumped my ancient gas mower a couple of years ago and got an electric mower. No more buying gasoline, or changing oil nor air filter. Just roll it out and mow.

Went to our local Neighborhood Walmart. They had a deluxe pollinator garden for a few years but I guess they are off on new tangents. This nice fence and irrigation system is going to waste. I’m surprised copper thieves hadn’t made their mark.

At a rest stop on Tulsa’s Riverparks Trails during a recent bike ride. What are those deer looking at anyway?

Shadow Shot Sunday – 7 June 2026 Edition

4 Replies

I went bicycling on Tulsa’s RiverParks Trails recently and found this miniature Tulsa Driller Statue so I got a combo shadow shot of my bike and the Tulsa Driller.

I was checking out a new trail at Tulsa’s Chandler Park and they had this sign with cutout letters and leaf images and I liked the shadow it cast.

We went recently on a long weekend to Hochatown, Oklahoma, home of Beavers Bend State Park. We rented a nice cabin and it made for decent shadows in the afternoon. See the two cans of bug spray on the table. Oklahoma has lots of bugs including mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and other nasty critters, so if you come visit in the summer, bring lots of bug spray. If you forget, we got lots for sale. As it was I got a few fire ant bites on my feet. They are really nasty and I don’t think bug spray bothers them at all.

That is about it for this week’s shadows. I’m linking with Shadow Shot Sunday.

Portal to The Sanctuary – Shadow Shot Sunday

The Portal to the Sanctuary on Turkey Mountain in Tulsa, Oklahoma

The portal to the Sanctuary on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain Wilderness Area. The Sanctuary is relatively new addition to Turkey Mountain. Some people will work around the moon gate for some reason. I have no such qualms. To me it is welcoming and besides whatever bad happens to you when you go through is reversed when you come back through on your way out, right? That is the way I look at it.

Shadow Shot Sunday – Garden Shadows

Yesterday, Heather and I checked out the Tulsa Audubon Society’s annual garden tour. It featured several residential gardens. It was a cool. The emphasis is not on bermuda grass or standard flowers. There were lots of wildflowers and the grasses were prairie grasses.

In addition to the plantings, the homes had an emphasis on shady areas for people to rest outside. In the summertime in Tulsa, you need great shade.

I love a Chiminea!

One home had a very nice water feature.

It was a great tour. With nominal cost.

And a bonus feature.

I finished this shadowy jigsaw puzzle recently. I though it would be easy but the decking about ate much lunch.

Mother’s Day Shadows

That’s me, on a step ladder, the day before Mother’s Day. Working on a project.

Putting up a light string for some mood lighting for our back patio.

Project turned out nice. I’ll go ahead and say the other part. We bought these lights years ago for this. Better late than never is what I say in response.

Shadow Shot Sunday – Mid April Edition

An early morning (for a retired guy) shot Saturday morning. I love Spring mornings even when it is 42F. They warm up fast. That is our terrier mix adoption dog Sadie off to the left. Today (Sunday, the 19th) is her “Gotcha Day.” We brought her home one year ago today. She is a little sweetie.

ZooLightful Shadows at the Tulsa Zoo

Last week we visited the local Tulsa Zoo. It has a nighttime only attraction going on called Zoolightful. We were there during the day and ironically the things that put on for a light show make pretty good shadows during the day.
