At Last!!! A Sunny Day to take Shadow Pics!!!

Oh, joy.  On the day our resident Photograph Project Assigner, Jane Chu, assigned this project, our Washington state's beautiful September weather ceased (meaning the sun was shining no more ) and it rained or was extremely cloudy every day until today.  Thanks, Jane.   

So, the sun came out   and I snapped a few photos around the house and backyard trying to capture shadows.  Yeah, quite a few are shot with my deck in the background, but because it's such a light color, the shadows appear more dramatic.  Go drama!

~CAPTURE THE SHADOW~

Inside the house, it's BAT CAT!!!!  Yes, Patches is a fearless, er, I mean fearful   super hero cat.  She's able to shed her great quantities of hair on evil baddies, even at a distance of 10 feet, and also uses her secret weapon:  cat dander!  Ahhh-choo!!!! 

Patches is ever so helpful.  Here, she's helping you, the viewer, to tell where my shadow is.  (It looks like she's gonna pounce on it!  In your dreams, Patches!) 

Here's a shadow of part of our "dining table" on the deck.  I keep calling it a picnic table, but because it has a glass top on it, I was duly informed by my daughter that it's not a picnic table. 

This one's kinda dramatic!  It's a shadowy image of the chaise lounge (sounds tres elegante in French, n'est pas?  ).  There's even shadows from each of the deck boards, too.  Cool. (Yes, I easily impress myself!)

Up against the side of my deck, these aster flowers' shadows are very delicate yet pointy. 

Since all of these photos are in the order that I took them, I finally made it into the backyard and down to the lake.  Yes, it's UNDERWATER SHADOWS!!!!  And, unfortunately, a piece of litter (it's orange...can you find it?) left no doubt by those rat bastard fishermen!  Bah.   

Coming up from the dock, I noticed this fish jaw bone and it looks like it has been sitting on the rocks for quite some time.  So, even though the shadows are tiny, I thought it disgusting enough to include in this montage (ooOOoo....another French word!).

Okay...back to the deck for an EXTREME CLOSE-UP.  This little Doug Fir branch snippet must have been blown off the tree in our recent storm.  It has landed here to be forever remembered digitally.

Thanks for the assignment, Jane!    And now I think I still need to do one that Butter came up with earlier (The Favorite Four).
