Shadow Shots

This was my lucky week for photos of shadows.  They are not something I have had many opportunities to photograph lately. Not sure if it has been due to the lousy weather or my not being observant. But, today I have a twofer to share.   

  

The crabapple tree that sits in front of our living room window has just gone from full blooms to being leafed out.  I opened my front door one morning to find its shadow on the front walkway.  

We went to our favorite local cafe for lunch.  It is always a busy place at that time of day.  As we were waiting to be seated I looked out the window into the sallyport and noticed the shadow of the front door reflected on the opposite window blinds.  I even managed to get hubby's profile in this shot as well.

Nighttime surprise

I woke up in the middle of the night to find a huge whale hovering over me.  In my sleepy state, it took a few minutes to realize it was a shadow made by the light of the alarm clock and the blades of the ceiling fan.

Given that both the fan and the clock have been in the same spot for the last four years I'm surprised this is the first time I noticed the pattern they make on the ceiling.
