SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY OVER AT HEY HARRIET . Click the links to visit other people who are playing games by taking pictures of shadows.
One advantage of staying past the usual Snowbird Season in Southwest Florida is that we get to enjoy the local summer harvest. Strawberries and tomatoes are gone, but watermelons are perfect! Here's a bunch of them at a local fruit stand. The mesh canopy created an interesting shadow effect.
They are great shadows on those watermelons :)

Ahh...the canopy! I was wondering where those sweet subtle shadows were coming from! Watermelons! Yummy! They're not really in season here at the moment but I can't wait until they are. A couple of months and I'll be in watermelon heaven! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

The mesh canopy creates a lovely soft tapestry of shadows! Great shot!

I love the pattern of the shadows on the watermelons. I don't like watermelons though, I think I'm allergic to them!

They look absolutely scrum-diddly-umptious Sallie. There's nothing better than a ripe fresh watermelon right from a local garden. We enjoy all of our local growers produce, especially organic.

Hi Sallie
Thanks for coming by, my summer is going up and down, as usual! I hope you are breathing easy, I have heard horror stories about the effect of the oil on the whole environment in your neighborhood. Do you smell it?
Your photo is perfect for summer and shadows!

I'm really enjoying your shadowy pictures. It's making me go back to my photo album to see if I have captured any. Unfortunately, not too many.

The watermelons have lines on top of their lines! :)
I love watermelon but remember one summer at 4-H camp I didn't want to eat any and have it running down my mouth and arms. I had become a teenager by then and there were boys around for gosh sakes! :)
