52 Photo Challenge: Week 21-Shadow

“May your feet ever walk in the light of two suns… and may the moonshadow never fall on you… ”—Robert Fanney

This week my assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to capture shadows. I had originally thought it might be nice to drive downtown and look for interesting shapes, but time got away from me and I settled on playing around at home.

The first eight photos were taken in my daughter’s bedroom and are of my own shadow. The rest were taken in the backyard. The hummingbird and owl are metal cutouts that usually sit in my planters, but I moved them around to create these images.

Last week was hard for me. I cried a lot and reached a new part of my healing and these photos are a part of that expression. I hope these photos bring you as much joy as they did me. Let me know if you have a favorite and have a fantastic week!

  1. There you are. Can hardly believe I’m here, nearly first. I’m so slow like an elephant. OK Bridgette I’m doing fours today. Number 4, because it feels the most “natural”, unstaged, just feels right seeing it. Our minds/eye has a sort of built in – this-is-the-way-it’s-supposed-to-be way of seeing. Double that for number 8 – oh the color, I forgot how much I wanted that. And THAT color is the color of all my “longing” for whatever it is I’m longing for. So yea, I love that one. As ever a big warm gold star for hanging it all out there to be seen. I root for you seeingwhatyouwanttosee.

  8. 8 has a lovely flash of added colour and 10 is a great contrast with the owl silhouette against the tree stump. Lovely snapshots, Bridgette 🙂 Glad your healing’s getting better ❤

    • Thanks! It was fun to play with the shadows to create things both beautiful and maybe a little unsettling. My assignment for this week is abstract photography. I’m a bit stumped at the moment as to what I’m going to do, but I’m excited to try.
