Walking with the shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday 2

Walking with the shadows, both physically and metaphysically.

While in Sturgis, South Dakota for this, I was drawn to this engraved pathway. At first I thought it was some type of memorial then I realized some of the blocks held the names of businesses and not individuals. I did not find any information on Sturgis' city website so I am only assuming that this pathway was created as a way to raise funds for the revitalization of the main street by offering blocks for sale. Personally I think it is a really great idea. I don't much care for the advertising blocks but really found the memorial blocks to be touching and historically interesting. 
What do you think about this method of funding?

Star Light Star Bright

It was a cloudy night so I really didn't anticipate seeing finding a star. Then I turned and low and behold the street lamp shining through our peach tree graced me with this. Not sure if my wish will come true but it was the only star upon which to make a wish that night.

Weekend Reflection: Fences


Late last week while looking for shadow shots for Scavenger Hunt Sunday, I spotted this fence. I was drawn to the shadow cast by the fence posts on the lower cross beam. Then I noticed the reflections on the upper cross beam and decided to shoot for both shadow and reflection.

Everyone have a fantastic weekend!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday on Monday



Due to the rain this last week my series was shot indoors. Although I did decide to pull from my archives for a nice unedited scenic shot.


Shadow
As my daughter tells me 'His name is NOT Sonic, this is Shadow!'
Keys
These are my late husbands Memory Keys. The Peterbuilt key is to the first semi he drove, The Kenworth key is to the his the first KW we owned and the ford key is to his F150 that he bought to escort oversized loads after he could no long drive the semi truck himself. The last key is a Caterpillar master key. The one legged pirate Lego man was the mascot for his Pilot car service which was named Peg Leg Escort. The hat is his Navy hat our son gave him when he first joined the navy.

Smile
I caught this gentleman's smile while taking a shot of my daughter and granddaughter. I don't know if he was smiling at some personal joy, or if he was smiling at the sight of my youngest daughter carrying her niece across the sky walk. Go here to see the rest of this shot.

Unedited
This is the Sioux Falls, SD clock tower at sunrise.

Fish
Or should I say Starfish.

I hope you have enjoyed my scavenger hunt submissions, it was quiet interesting finding them while confined to the house. Click the link at the top to visit more submissions or to play along.
