3/52 Shadow

This weeks inspiration was Shadow's.  I must point out that it is very hard to do shadows here at least it was very hard for me. Because I find it challenging for it to get light enough outside for there to be shadows.
The first picture is of Ella and I at 8:30 in the morning waiting for the school bus to get here.  I found that the street light made great light for a shadow picture.

 

In the middle of the week the sun decided to peek it's head out for a little while.  I rushed outside and took a picture of myself while it was still there.  Here you will see that my legs are ginormous.  In case your wondering according to this shadow my legs are 7 feet 2 inches long and my body is only 4 ft long. But hey who doesn't want to be over 11 feet tall.

In a rare moment the sun came out to play. Being 5'9 I thought I had long legs but look at those now! I rival a giraffe! Haha!

This last picture was taken off the wall in my downstairs living room.  reminds me of a heart or two swans with their heads together.  Really its me taking the photo trying to hold up my heavy camera.  I didn't like the original edit so when I put it on instagram I used their editing software to make it a little bit more defined.



The thing that I really love about this group is that it forces you to be creative and think outside of the box. 

"I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,

And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all."

excerpt from My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson
