Thomas Gilcrease Mansion Shadows

So Friday afternoon I was going to a preview of the new Gilcrease Museum. I checked in with guard at the entrance to the parking lot and I was a little early and so he said you got some time so go ahead and park and make yourself at home. I never need to be told that. You invite me to your house, I’m going to check out your books, liquor cabinet, and refrigerator. I’ll be playing with your dog and tracking down your cat. So now you know why I never get invited anywhere. But at Gilcrease I parked and walked across the street to the Thomas Gilcrease Mansion. I love the formal garden there.

They had the fountain going so I was trying to make a slow shutter photo of the fountain. Doing that with a handheld phone is tough. I hope it doesn’t make you too dizzy. And then I thought, hmm, I’m going to check out that the green structure is over there. I don’t know what you call it but it is wrought iron and very ornate.

So it was like wow, those are some interesting shadows.

Then I looked up through the lattice and wow. This is really cool. I’ve been here a lot and I guess that I never looked up.

So then I looked to the side and I love this shadow of the structure plus the garden fence. I love the long shadows of autumn.

As I left the garden I found this plaque about gardens. I swear have never seen this before but it is perfect.

I’m linking with Shadow Shot Sunday.
