Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Shadow Shot Sunday #168: Tables, Chairs and Purses

Yesterday, while waiting for our movie to start, we went to the Mexican restaurant next door to the theater, and sat down at the bar to order. I looked up, and noticed a very cool shadow shot reflecting off of a long mirror hanging over the bar. If you look closely at these photos, you will notice that the wooden table, chairs and the light fixtures are inside. The black tables and chairs are outside, with the pretty shadows. After zooming and cropping, it is very hard to tell that I took the picture by looking at a mirror.

These were taken yesterday too, through the window of a designer store in Downtown Bend, Oregon. I love the rich colors of these little tiny purses as they were lined up so nicely on the windowsill.

SING A SONG OF SHADOWS

Sing a song of shadows
Taller than a tree!
Sing a song of shadows
Wider than the sea!
Sing a song of shadows
Dancing in the sun!
Sing a song of shadows—
Day is almost done!
