Shadow Shot Sunday - 1/30

More Winter sunshine

Casts a morning shadow on

The way to my door.

Here is an Autumnal view.

Shadow Shot Sunday - 1/23

January sun

And spindly branches make a

Pattern in the snow

Shadow Shot Sunday

What mysterious

Creature leaves a line in the

Snow without footprints?

Shadow Shot Sunday - 1/09; Mellow Yellow Monday - 1/10

Samantha was born

With an intuition for

Knowing how to pose

Shadow Shot Sunday - 1/02

On a treck through the

Hills, on a steep rock-strewn path,

You might find these boys

Play for me, Lauren,

In this cold, bleak midwinter,

A new song of joy

Two crystal giraffes

Cast their long shadows on the

Spindly branch shadows

Cast a dark lace tapestry

On the square brickwork

Taken last Sunday  For the same view 16 days earlier, see here.

Fortunately, bright fall sunshine both days.

Leaves that last in Fall

Under spindly branch shadows:

The last leaves to fall.

Mellow Yellow Monday

 

A fine autumn day

To honor senior athletes;

But then - those Badgers . . .

My new friend and I

On a perfect autumn day

Cheering now, "Go Blue!"

Orb Weaver Builds her 

Home in the shadow of mine.

I guess I can share.

Shadow Shot Sunday - 10/31 - Halloween!

The lovely wife and 8-year-old granddaughter Samantha drove by this rather overdone Halloween display the other day.  Click to enlarge, and survey the cast of gruesome characters surrounding the doorway.  Sam's comment was, "If I was a kid, I wouldn't want to go trick or treating there.  Oh, wait . . . I AM a kid!"

Priceless!

But wait -- there's more!

Here is the other side of the driveway.

Yikes!

Cousins, and cousins 

Of cousins playing in a

Back yard soccer game. 

Shadow Shot Sunday

GO FALCONS!

Sammie cheers for the 

Falcons, in green and yellow.

So do we, of course!

Shadow Shot Sunday - 10/09

Taken this summer at the Knoxville Zoo.

Great grey simian,

Do you not like people? Why

Turn your back on me?

Shadow Shot Sunday/Mellow Yellow Monday - 9/26-27

Take a turn in the

Circle for the bean bag toss.

It's all in the wrist!

Knotty weathered wood

Holds a skink with blue tail,

Not a blue-tailed skink!

Per Wikipedia, blue-tailed skinks are native to Australia's Christmas Island, and are not closely related to the Plestiodon skinks found in North America - like this one who would skamper around on the deck of our Vacation Cottage near the Smokey Mountains.  They do look very similar, though.

Here is the view looking from the deck, rather than at it.

Shadow Shot Sunday - 9/05

Taken a few weeks ago at the Knoxville Zoo.

Great white pachyderms:

You huddled masses with your

Backs against the wall
