FOR WEEKEND REFLECTIONS and SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY.
We have reached the first major destination for our Summer road trip -- Longmont Colorado -- where we are visiting our kids. We dropped in to see these old friends at Benson Sculpture Park in nearby Loveland.

I see these kind of sculptures in blogland quite a bit. I'd so love to photograph some.
Your second shot is a terrific and crisp shadow shot!
So glad you are safely that far. Enjoy the time spent with family.

Longmont, Loveland, and Benson Park are all new to me, but I think I'd enjoy those sculptures and the natural setting. The first one, with the broom, is particularly fun.

Those sculptures are particulary spectacular...
The water reflections on the first shot are so beautiful...
Good choice !

I'm happ to know you are well arrived in Colorado ! Spend happy time with your children ! I like these sculptures. Last year are saw sculptures like these ones in Salt lake City. If I find good shots I'll send them to you !

A sculpture park--what a fun place! No wonder you go back at every opportunity!
SHADOWY DINNER
A shadow, a shadow, a shadow you say?
A shadow is coming to dinner today?
Oh, what shall we feed it, and what will it eat?
Just toss down a few rays of light at its feet,
And watch its dark mouth gobble up every ray,
But be sure, my friend, you don’t get in its way;
Keep out of the light so it won’t gobble you.
(If I were the hostess, that’s just what I’d do.)
A shadow is easy to feed, so they say,
So welcome your shadow to dinner today.

A sculpture park, what a great idea. I love these photos, Sallie. The shadow of the figure in the second photo looks like the shadow of a real child.

What fantastic shadow shots! Looks like such a lovely park! The second shadow shot is particularly beautiful as it is so sharp and clear! At first glance it is easy to believe it is a real person! A really superb statue/detail! Hope you're having a wonderful visit with family, Sallie! Enjoy!
