See, in that first of the you and tree make three, you look like some sort of twisted Valkyrie with an avant garde cactusy(or aloe-y?) magic crystal/earth ball.

And where I came up with that strange interpretation I really do not even CARE to know! On the fly, but had to look, and once I looked, I simply began to laugh.

Good to be in a new family... sort of... these families seem to be all sorts of overlapping, which is also wonderful.

Bellow on,Brum Hilde of the 21st century!

Wowee, what a lovely forest! And I like your dance :)
Your link on the SSS2 site seems to be missing an m at the end of .com - maybe repost it? I don't have access to the linky tool :(
Have a wonderful week!

John McElveen said...

Beautiful shadow shots and excellent capture of that airplane.

Regards and best wishes

toby said...

Yes, that looks much better!
Thanks for the welcome, and for your sweet comment on my blog - nice to meet you :)

Patti said...

It's always good to dance whilst taking photos in the woods..even if one is alone.
;-)


Cool shot of the jet!

Have a fun week seeking shadows.

TexWisGirl said...

those first shots made me snicker out loud! thanks for that!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Adore your shadow dances! (Still chuckling!) Can't believe someone else thought of the Valkyrie idea! That was my first thought too! No idea why! Perhaps the spindly effect - not meaning to suggest that you are spindly - but the shadow implies something a little Gothic and witchified! Terrific photos!

Riot Kitty said...

The second one - you're auditioning for a part in the next Lord of the Rings movie? :)

John McElveen said...

Tatjana--as always--Thanks so much! Have a wonderful week!

Regards!

Sylvia K said...

Oh, how fun! These shadow shots really made my afternoon on this gray, northwest day! Nothing better than dancing with the trees! I love it, John! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy -- with the trees or without them!!

Sylvia

Paula Scott said...

That jet shot is pretty much outta the park as they say! Like you could almost touch it! Love the tango wit the trees too. Methinks you're having too much fun. Alone. But, all the better, eh?

John McElveen said...

Sylvia-- Thanks so much--it is freezing here in SC only because the winds are gusting to 32 mph! But a big pot of Chili took care of that!

Thanks again,

J



Paula-- Thanks--I did get a Good shot on the Jet, Lucky with the Sky and where the Sun was!. My wife won't walk with me anymore!!! She just shakes her head when I head out with the camera!

Thanks for the visit and Have a great week ahead!

John

Kelly said...

John McElveen said...

Kelly--It's YOUR fault--I was looking for my "Y", for the alphabet! LOL

Have a great week upcoming my friend!

Ralph said...

The top shadow is amazing - it is as if the tree is cradling that yucca plant in its limb...nice look at the shadowy forest. The airplane appears to be landing nearby - let's hope that the serenity of the woods is not disrupted...

Joan said...

Great shot of Jet Blue!
Hmmmm, trying to figure out what creature the first shot could be. Love it!
Great dancing by the way! LOL

Gerald- I never thought my Originally a slingshot or Y would garner so much commentary--Thank you VERY MUCH!!! It's amazing that dropping an arm down by chance makes a shot.......


J



Catherine--That place is a gold mine of Shadow Play! Thanks for the visit and nice comment!

J



Cassie-- THANKS-- I was laughing and hoping no one was looking whilst I did it! ;-)


J



CanadianGardenJoy- I can spend all day there and esp in the Spring getting all kinda of Critter pics. I'm afraid winter for us in the South is here. 32 mph winds with windchill of 20 in SC yesterday..that's cold for us non snow people....gonna be 18-20 tonight--that's a Three Dog Night- LOL. Thanks for you kind words and visit!!
