There were some wonderful shadows in the kitchen. I already shared the ones of the snowmen and birds. On the other side of the doorway the sun was creating lovely shadows of the spider plant and also the curtain from the kitchen window.
I love the twists and curls of the telephone wire and they appear so much bigger in the shadow on the wall. Yes we still have a landline that is actually fastened to the kitchen wall, hence the extra long cord so I can still continue working if a call comes in. There are also phones in other parts of the house that are cordless. I'm actually thinking of getting rid of all those phones and just going with an iphone so I can keep up with the rest of the world.
It looks like it will be a sunlit Sunday after all. After a cloudy start to the day the clouds have vanished and the sun is out, filling the rooms with glorious sunlight. I'm linking with Shadow Shot Sunday and Sunlit Sunday
I hope it is sunny in your part of the world.
Great photos, as always, Linda. I enjoy seeing the play of light on plants; your phone cord shadow rather reminds me of the double helix structure! Thanks for joining in again this week at Sunlit Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLinda: Who knew that a simple telephone cord could make such a beautiful pic with its shadow. There may be some very young people (who all have cells and no land lines) that are curious about the cord.
ReplyDeleteI live on Vancouver Island and today it is overcast, but very mild, so we won't probably see any shadows today. I say probably, because in a coastal climate weather changes very quickly.
Oh yes, I have witch hazel, hellebores and snowdrops in bud or bloom! The pansies in pots on our front deck were lying with their little faces hidden a week ago, but now they are looking up and smiling at me.

HI Peg, glad you stopped by for a visit. We were visiting on Vancouver Island last November (Sooke) and loved it. I'm envious of your plants in bloom.
DeleteHello there Linda girl !
ReplyDeleteI meant to come over last night and thank you for all of the Canadian blogs I picked up from your blog roll .. it was amazing how many you have there ! So thank you girl : )
I love your shadows especially the curled phone line .. it looks like a DNA chain !!! now how cool is that ?
The wind last night here was ferocious .. the house shook quite a few times it was that bad.
Rain is coming again and I have an ice rink in the back garden .. I just know I will lose plants come Spring .. oh well .. not a thing can be done about the weather right ?
Keep warm and cozy girl !
Joy
PS .. have you seen Kim Klassen's site for textures on photos ? many of them are free .. but I have to have PhotoShop ..BIG sigh !
No rain here Joy, lovely sunshine.
DeleteI'll check out the site for textures, but now I have an iMac I'm not using Photoshop. I use Pixelmator instead. I usually only crop and/or resize my photos.
This is a really nice post, Linda. Just rethinking the ordinary brings out the extraordinary. Gets me thinking, too!
ReplyDeleteNo matter when these shots were taken, they make a perfect shadow shot post.
ReplyDeleteWho knew that a telephone cord could make such intriguing shadows!
ReplyDeleteThreaded Shadows
Love that telephoe cord!
ReplyDeleteAfter a few days of rain and fog, we have sun here too. :)
What great, clever shadow shots for the day! I, too, love the telephone cord! Amazing where we find them once we start looking isn't it? Hope you have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
i love that you still have a telephone cord to make that twisted shadow. here's to having some sun your way this week.
ReplyDeleteThat telephone cord shadow is truly brilliant! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteYou came up with some great shadows despite having to stay inside for them. I love the phone cord!
ReplyDeleteIce storms are so beautiful, but so deadly for the power lines, tree branches, and travel!
Love your clever shadow photos. No sun here in Ireland...just rain, rain, rain right now.
ReplyDeleteI have that flower too. :) You got some great shadows at home. Nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful and creative captures...good eye on these.
ReplyDeleteI love the telephone wire shadow. It's a sun cloud mix here this afternoon and very windy but just above zero degrees. Not bad for Januray 29th!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeletePretty shadows in the kitchen and sunlight under the flag.
We've talked about getting rid of the land line and all the extensions - many of the younger generation only have a smart phone. We'd probably save a bundle, right? I'd be interested in hearing more if you do go this route.
Judith
So enjoyed you pictures today! Wonderful shadows! Cathy
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, Love the phone cord. Great shot. Jen.
ReplyDeleteThe phone cord shadow shot is brilliant- so glad the sun came out for you- I enjoy rain, but the cloudy days can get dreary after a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove your shadow shots and, of course, your flag!
ReplyDeleteI noticed in your header you're in garden zone 5b. Breaks my heart. We're only zone 3 here in southeastern Alberta. I spent most of my life on the southwest coast, so I was used to buying a live Christmas tree and planting it in the garden afterward. LOL

Fabulous photos!
ReplyDeleteglad to see the sun shine today, made a huge change from yesterday.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos,
Gill
It was great to see some sun today. The phone cord makes a great shadow!
ReplyDeleteLove the shadow of the spider plant and the telephone cord. Glad you ended up having some sun today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to see my sunlit barn.
Barb
I love how you find such beauty in everyday things, and share them with us, so we can see it too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for checking out my Fence post (fence post! :-) ) I love your header photos, with all the lovely ice! But your sunny/shadow pics on this post are also great. You have a wonderful eye!
ReplyDeleteI love the curly telephone wire. Its funny you wrote "getting rid of my phone to go to iphone" because the first thing I thought was...wow I have not seen a long kitchen telephone wire since I lived at home with my parents.
ReplyDeleteAll your shots are just lovely.
Cheer,
Leah
Very nice shadows and my favourite is the telephone wire.
ReplyDeleteI like all these ShadowShots, but my fave is the phone cord. It really changed shape in shadow! Can hardly believe it's only 51 days 'til Spring. It will be pretty warm here by then. :>(
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely nice to see the warm sun again!
ReplyDeleteThe spiralling telephone cord is simply amazing! And from an object we know well! The plant's shadow is so sweetly delicate! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shadow shots, especially I like the second.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Do people [or bloggers if the case may be any difference]....use the word 'nifty' any more? LOL...well, I think the phone cord shadow is really NIFTY!!
ReplyDeleteMy Monday Post if you'd like to stop by to visit...is:
THEY CALL ME MELLOW YELLOW
I like that word Hootin Anni, and it seems most visitors thought the phone cord shadow was nifty.
DeleteLove the shadow on the wall of the telephone wire.
ReplyDeleteGreat shadows Linda
