Water Drops and Shadows

We had days on end of rain last week. I sure appreciated that sun when it came out again.

I took this photo of the faucet that is on the upstairs uncovered patio. I let the water drip a bit and tried to catch a drop in the photo. I need to experiment more with my camera settings to get a better pic, so you might see this theme again.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

It is Sunday in Australia which brings us to Shadow Shot Sunday hosted by the wonderful HeyHarriet.blogspot.com.

The smallish faucet looks gigantic with this massive shadow. The subject, although not visible, is what the shadow says it is. Excellent picture, the white wa a perfect canvas for this!
without the drip, you did get a great shadow.
I guess you would have to be mighty fast to catch a drip. At least I would think so..Anyway, good job. Happy SSS

that is a very interesting shot.
Transparent water drops are very appealing things to paint. With a bit of practice and careful planning you'll find they're not as impossible to paint as you might have thought.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
