How fitting that, this year, that Shadowshot Sunday comes on Groundhog Day.
Although these shadows won't predict if we will have an early spring or six more weeks of winter (noting that the official Groundhog of Groundhog Day is only right about 40% of the time), they make for a good Shadowshot.

Incidentally, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Let's hope he's wrong again.
And, in a number of cultures, they are celebrating the new year. This year will be the Year of the Snake. This picture of a shake was taken this past September.

Happy Groundhog Day in the year of the snake!
ReplyDelete...no shadows here today.
ReplyDeleteSix more weeks of winter …
ReplyDeleteDo you often see groundhogs? They look quite large animals.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos for shadows, and for the lunar year as well as ground hog day! The Oregon Zoo (Portland, OR) Pygmy African hedgehog did NOT see his shadow this morning! So, more winter for you in the east, and an early spring here! No shadows at my house either, rain. Snow forecast for a few days next week.
ReplyDeleteI never see any critters around here. It would be interesting if I did.
ReplyDeleteClever tying in the snake to the year of the snake to shadowshots!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of our critters saw their shadows today.
Spotting snake in a distance is safer than in one's bedroom
ReplyDeleteWell, it was snowing here, so no shadows. Year of the Snake. Fitting, considering who is in the WH.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the groundhog is wrong.
