Good grief, is it Monday already?
I’m sure I must have fallen through a wormhole from Friday afternoon.
But at least I have your contributions for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to look forward to, themed this week around; Shadowplay.
With no particular ideas in mind and not having been out anywhere over the last couple of days, I found inspiration for my shadowy offerings at home and in the garden.
First these dramatically lit plants in the living room caught my eye…
…and the shadows of forsythia stems which seem to be hanging from the Virginia creeper vine.
But it was when I noticed the possibilities of shadows cast by my two metal fish ornaments that I got really inspired. One hastily-wedged bamboo pole on top of the shed later and I captured these cheery portraits.
After which I created a little aquarium scene…
…and then got rather carried away and made this.
And finally, I have the perfect opportunity to play us out with this classic clip of Joy Division
What did you do in the shadows at the weekend, come on, it’s show and tell time…

I especially liked the shadows of the fish with that wicked smile. And the animations of it.

Those fish are really inspired (and apparently, so are you!)
