More from the park for SOOC and Shadow Shots

Camera Critters is right below this

A few more shots from the park I featured last week.

This top shot is STRAIGHT OUT OF the CAMERA



The tree decorated the trash can ...




I love lines and shadows so these shots made me happy. That's my big old head in the last shot.




For more SHADOW SHOTS

Have a great Sunday! I'm headed to the Motherland (Brooklyn) for a birthday party.

I love shadows and lines for their artistic beauty, but also it tells me the sun is shining!!! And we need sun here in my cold north! Happy Sunday.

What did we ever do without our digital camers...mine goes everywhere with me...you never know when that perfect shadow will appear.

The bench shadows are the favorites for me. Nicely done.

Bitterly cold Sunday here. High of 12. Too cold to stay out for very long taking pictures but I did manage to get some in. One or two may end up on a photo meme or two. We'll see!

kden said...

Love the garbage can shot, definitely SOOC! Your kitty pictures are precious.

bobbie said...

Very nice. I love the tree shadow on the trash can.

Julie said...

I love a bit of color against the snow. Nice group of shots.

Shadows! They're everywhere! Great photos.

I love that 3rd shot in particular.

BTW, all the best people show their big shadowy heads in photos. I think of it as the equivalent of Van Gogh signing Vincent in great big letters on all his paintings.

Lisa's RetroStyle said...

Looks like a lovely time of day in the park...nice shots!

Dianne said...

lisa b - it was the warmest part of the day - was a balmy 21F !!!
but I loved being there alone

Raven said...

Nice series of shadows. I'm surprised you have so little snow. We are still pretty deep in it and bitterly cold.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

Hey Dianne! Great shots out & about! That red bench does make one happy!!

GalleryJuana said...

this park looks inviting even in cold weather. I like all the trees it has too.

That's a great series of shadow shots. Oh and I loved your comment on my blog. That made me laugh! I can imagine grown ups need to have tantrums too ;)

Jill said...

I do like lines and shadows too. Very nice.

Terry said...

Dear Dianne..I always love your shadow pictures.
You are a dedicated photographer. I just can't take pictures out in the cold lately. I guess I am being an inside picture taker the last while.
The cold weather is just chilling my bones!
The Teach had a beautiful shadow picture on her blog this week. Just wonderful Dianne!..Love Terry

Dianne said...

raven - we're close the coast so we get the endless freeze and melt syndrome - the snow never lasts that long but the icy patches are forever - and the black ice!! OY!!

summer kitchen - thanks :)

gallery - the trees are well cared for - thanks to the open space laws many of us fought to have passed. makes me happy

twinkle - a laugh is always a good thing :)
your post was a delight

jill - my favorite things to shoot - thanks :)

terry - it is hard in the cold, my fingers were raw and my glasses kept fogging up so I couldn't see the camera settings
