Shadow Shot Sunday

It has been a while since i have participated in SSS, mind you i STILL hunt for shadows, just never seem to get them posted in time!!

Todays shadow is from Nicks new house that he and 3 friends have moved into. The security mesh provided a perfect shadow.

A little blurry i must say!!

For shadows all over the world visit the delightful Hey Harriet and have a happy Sunday :0)

Shadow Shot Sunday

I have been chasing tiny teeny shadows this week, this little cocoon is 1.5cms high!! These things like living on our verandah rails.

  

And something a little bigger from my dish drainer, at least its good for something other than washing up, lol!!

 

For shadows all around the world check out HEY HARRIET and her fantastic collages.

Happy Shadow shooting.

These shadows were on the front steps this morning. while i was taking the first Maddison spotted the tiny piece of wire casting a shadow.

Happy Sunday to you

Fiskars colour me Happy challenge and Shadow Shot Sunday.

Good morning :0)

My red photo for Fiskars Colour Me Happy Challenge is this one today.....

 

Recently our eldest sons girlfriend visited the V8 Racing that was held down in Townsville and she bought back this stubbie cooler for him, along with some nice new red T-shirts, lucky boy!

And my Shadow Shot Sunday for this week is the path leading into the kids little cubby which changes on a daily basis and some strong crisp shadows from under the house that i couldn't resist posting as well. For a change i took them on the sepia setting.

 

 

 

Be sure to drop by and visit Hey Harriet and shadow shooters from around the world.

Happy Sunday to all

Shadow Shot Sunday

Hello, finally i am posting my SSS.

I have just scooted around the yard shadow hunting some more photos so i don't miss out! It is a glorious sunny day here today.

It was only supposed to be the pool fence shadow but you got me into the bargain i'm afraid!!

 

This one is of our woodchipper that is parked in our driveway, i thought it looked a bit like Bart Simpsons head! Can you see it or do i have a warped mind, lol?

Be sure to visit Hey Harriet and shadow shooters from around the world.

Have a great day all.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

Morning :0)

After sifting through some photos in search of something in particular last night i came across so many shadow shots that i have taken over the last year, so its time to get back into it, as i have said before you never stop looking for them, unfortunately time just got in the way with posting.

Be sure to visit shadow shooters from around the world along with the delightful Hey Harriet and view the beautiful collages Tracy compiles each week. 

This one is from our holiday spot of my hubby and youngest son strolling on the beach.

 

The weather up here in sunny FNQ has been superb of late, little on the chilly side (for us, lol) but beautiful days.

Happy Sunday to you :0)

Shadow Shot Sunday on the Q150 Steam Train.

Finally i am getting around to a Shadow Shot Sunday, it has been quite some time!! Even though i haven't participated for a while (purely a time issue) doesn't mean i don't stop looking for them, it becomes a part of you after a while:0)

I have been working at the kids school, filling in for our admin lady who is on long service, so i was lucky enough to join the kids on the Q150 Steam train that has travelled up from Brisbane.

The P and C very generously paid for the kids to go on the trip and for buses to and from the station. We had an absolute ball, it was so exciting with people lining streets and the highway to wave and toot their horns and all sorts of things. The local Historic Society were dressed in period costume on the station, old cars lined the station, news cameras and paper photographers were everywhere!! Cause we seemed to be one of the only schools and all looking immaculate in our school uniform, we stood out like you know what and looked good on camera, lol!!

So below is my SSS for Hey Harriets Shadow Shot Sunday.  And seeing as i took as usual LOTS of photos, i decided to include a few extras.  

 

Happy Sunday!!

School holidays in Qld start tomorrow, we are off to the beach for 2 weeks, yay.

A busy weekend

in the Hanigan household.

Christopher, Maddison and myself spent Saturday attending the Mulgrave River Bridge opening. A new bridge has been built over the river that we pass over 2 times every day and have done so for the last13 years to and from school.

We have watched every day the progress and on Saturday the official opening took place. The company building the bridge supplied buses to and from the river so that we could walk across before it is open to traffic next week

Various competitions have been run in the local community to encourage community involvement. The kids from years 1 to 4 had to make model bridges, Maddison fell into this category.

The  older kids years 4 - 7 had the chance to participate in a poetry competition about the Mulgrave River and the new bridge, with the winner having their poem attached to the bridge on a special plaque.  With quite a few schools participating it was our school that took out 1st and 2nd place and......

drumroll please!!!!

While he didn't come third, Christopher got runner up, woo hoo!! He was a little sad, he really wanted his poem on the bridge ;0) The local paper also run a competition for 4 people to be the first over the bridge in these lovely old cars (wasn't us, cause i forgot to enter that one, lol!!) Anyway here are some pics of the day.

 

The company also supplied icy poles and bottles of water which went down very well. I have to say, this was the only photo i got with Maddison, quite a few of her school mates went too and all i could see was her skipping along way out in front, going from side to side and looking over the edge, not staying 1 metre from the rails and being supervised by her responsible parent as requested by the organisers. I was a litte miffed at her, after all this will be a historical moment one day in the future ;0)

  

  

  

this is Chris looking down on the old bridge, which when it was built they said would never flood, it goes way over!!

  

this is looking upstream and when this floods, which is a good couple of times a year, the water comes half way up the trees on the left, an amazing amount, you have to see it to believe it. this is also a popular swimming spot, well it was until one of the bridge workers spotted a croc in there a couple of weeks back, so now there is a nice big "no swimming, crocodiles" sign up and no-one swims there anymore.

  

  

Of course you couldn't have a bridge opening without the pollies!! Chris spent some time dancing around behind here, (much to my horror!!) trying to get his face on camera, we will have to watch the news tomorrow night to see whether he succeeded!!

And well last but not least a Shadow shot for Hey Harriet, just couldn't resist ;0)

  

Well that was most of our Saturday, i do have more photos from the weekend, but you've probably all dozed off by now ;0)

Enjoy your week ahead

A sleeping pooch in the shadows.....

 

but do not be fooled by this butter wouldn't melt in his mouth boy!!

  

What is that you may ask?? Well they would be items that this dog chewed to pieces. I might add i remember distinctly, commenting on this blog when we got him, that he never, never, chewed, just gathered.

Well!!!

 How wrong could i have been. this is just a wee small sample of the damage he has done with his teeth over the last 7 months or so, not to mention the unbelievable talent he has digging holes as well.  Yesterday Jesse made the mistake of leaving his golf bag on the ground, Chase helped himself to his favourite ball (his mate bought back from America for him) that would be the chewed up pink thing, numerous tees and that sorry looking brown frame was a pair of sunglasses, oh and that is a school shirt that has the collar and the tab chewed off it. 

LUCKY we love him, LOTS is all i can say!!

To join in on Shadow Shot Sunday drop by Hey Harriet to participate, oh and by the way, if you haven't already done so make sure you check out her Etsy Shop, she has the coolest TtV photos;0). 

HAPPY SUNDAY :0)

and thanks for stopping by.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Hello, good shadows here this week, the sun is shining and it has been hot, hot, hot!!

This  "garden treasure" for want of a better description!! was  bought home by my hubby after doing a vegetation check on some power lines. He thought Chris would fancy it, which of course he did, Maddison - not so impressed with it!!

 

the golden penda blossoms i posted last sunday are in the same garden as the skull. i thought this blossom was positioned like this cow skull had it in his hair!! (well if it had hair that is, or fur i guess, you know what i mean ;0)!)

To join in shadow shot sunday visit  Hey Harriet post a shadow shot, leave a comment and visit shadow shooters all around the world! The participants are growing and the collages Tracy makes each week, works of art!!

Thankyou to those girls who have emailed to tell me they can't leave comments, i honestly don't know why, and am at a loss as to what to suggest, but thanks for stopping by to take a look :0) 

Happy Sunday to you all,

Annette :0)
