Shadow Shot Sunday #87 Blue shadows


Snow, icicles and catkins on Corylus avellana contorta
Blue shadows in the snow. We are now in the middle of a thaw and everything is slushy and grubby - and flooding!
Thank you to Tracy from 'Hey Harriet' for organising and hosting this meme.

Oh, what a great shadow shot for the day! Different and really lovely! And it does look cold! Hope you'll finish thawing out soon! Have a lovely weekend!

that's a lovely shot, I like the twisting patterns of the twigs

Ralph said...

Icy blue shadows seem cold as the snow sits upon the vegetation. Yet, the blue light is elegant, due to the cold yet still 'cool' to look at. Delicate lighting of winter..

Snow affords us wonderful opportunities, doesn't it? Very nice shot.

I thought it was a tangle of lights first!
Crazy weather alkl over! We have plus weather and it will be warmer tomorrow! The snow is melting!
Great shadow shot!

Wonderful shot! I love all the twisted tree roots (?) amongst the ice. It reminds me of my fridge when it's defrosting!

Janie said...

Cool photo from the thaw. I can almost hear the dripping...

Chris said...

Hi Janice, I like your icy tree.I bet it looks great when the catkins mature. We've had a thaw here too and now we have mud and the fields are full of water.

Truly the winter blues...ours are doing a slow melt, that's good for the frozen waterways...so far!

Capturing the thawing out process is a first! Makes for an interesting variation on the snow front. Can really feel the edge between water and ice.

Hey Harriet said...

Oooh, slushy and grubby? But it looks so pretty here in your photo! Sorry that my waffle confused you. I'm sure you were not the only one. I'm not so great at explaining things. Just keep on doing what you are doing as it's all good! :)

Isn't nature marvellous? Now if you stuck me out there in the middle of a snowy winter, I doubt I would bloom again in Spring!
