360/365 Christmas shadows

We had some winter sunshine today, it streamed in through the conservatory and fell upon our Christmas tree. I realise there are quite a few images on this blog featuring shadows... well, as has been said before, its all about the light, and shadows can be fascinating.

292/365 Sunshine shadow

Its a pity we didn't have a little of this sunshine yesterday to enhance the colours at Westonbirt, but at least it was dry and bright. The mobile casting this shadow hangs in my conservatory, the top is a sunshine, the curve is a rainbow, the other hanging elements are rabbits and sheep. Its made from felt and is embroidered, its a very cheerful sunshine mobile!

289/365 Sew, a needle pulling thread

I couldn't think of a better title, although The Sound of Music is not a film I like at all! This cotton reel was in the kitchen (such as it is at the moment, with the builders here) and the late afternoon sun was catching it. One shot, got it.

And here's the 'drop of golden sun' version!

169/365 Trick of the Light

The light caught them. But what are they exactly? They are water retentive gel spheres for plants/flowers to be planted/arranged in. They are like tiny beads in the packet, then you soak them in a certain volume of water for 8 hours. At this point they had been in for a couple of hours and this is the shadow they cast.
