Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #106


While in the garden attempting to revive my very sad looking grape vine I noticed these late afternoon bike shadows in the carport. I imagined each spoke a smirk, mocking my less than impressive gardening skills...

Paranoid? Me? No. They were smirking I tells ya. And snickering. I distinctly heard the sound of snickering.

Happy Sunday!

Oh, the travesty of being mocked by bicycle spokes!
The ingrates!
I know you'll show them, come next spring and summer when those grape vines are climbing all over the place.
Have a great weekend!
It's a holiday weekend here (3 days) with Monday being Memorial Day honoring our fallen soldiers.

Regardless of what the bike was saying you got a great shadow shot out of it.

Speaking of sad grapevines--I came home at high noon and surprised a JACKAL under my one poor vine! Now I understand where all the grapes went last summer.

Wow what a sensational shadow shot! If a bike shadow was mocking me it would be for not being ridden. But I am safe from such a fate now as I gave the bike away to the neighbours so I didn’t have to look at its still, smirking, cob web covered frame!

jabblog said…
Aww, go on with you - you're imagining things . . . on the other hand, they do look a bit snide.

Ralph said…
Bicycle wheels can have sarcastic spokes - not that they ever planted a garden. Silly spokes!

Self Sagacity said…
I love the shadow shot of the bicycle! The mosiacs are so much fun as well. So great when you put them together as such. Thanks!

Nasty things, bicycles (that's why I've never owned one!!) Still, it did give you an excellent shadow shot!
ps - I am enjoying the photos on your other blog!

That is such a dramatic shadow. The long light of late afternoon is just the best.

Fantastic shot! I might participate again this week, I'll have a rummage through my pictures.

Sylvia K said…
Ah! Those friggin' spokes! What do they know about a garden???? I can even hear them snickering from here! Ungrateful wretches! If I were you I'd leave them out in the cold for a night, see if that show them who is who!!! But they do make a terrific shadow shot even if they do take advantage of the opportunity. Have a great weekend, Tracy!

Haha...what an imagination you've got there;)

When my grape vines looked sad I chopped them all back one fall and I think they look much better now.

Cool shadow shot!

I heard snickering, too.

It's a great shadow. I don't think those spokes were smirking. And if they were - who cares?

Have to admit..A lot of smirking around my place..Your shadows are great as usual..
Have a happy week..Happy SSS.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said…
What a great shadow! Snickering....now Tracy...!
When I read this, I laughed for I could hear the snickering from the old Thomas the train tapes we had to watch with my sons - the naughtey cars would have the most anoying jeering :)
Have a great weekend!
May 30, 2010
Generik said…
Aw, they weren't snickering at you, they were snickering with you! Come on, snicker!

Great bike shadow!
May 30, 2010
Victoria said…
Yeah, they were smirking at you, and they probably ride over your grape vines as soon as you walk away! I say turn the garden hose on them 'till they rust... that will wipe those smirks off those spokes!

(Have a great weekend!)

Spokes schmokes. Let's see a spoke actuate a shutter ;-) Very nice shadows, even if they came from a bunch of miscreants.

Too funny and yes, I'm sure they were mocking...another stupid human attempt at doing something right...will we ever learn never to listen to them...I know it's hard to be humble!

Have a wonderful Sunday Tracie!

I imagined each spoke a smirk, mocking my less than impressive gardening skills....They were smirking I tells ya. And snickering. I distinctly heard the sound of snickering.

There are times when Resistentialism really makes a lot of sense.

Oh, and great shot!

The Autumn season seems to wave some kind of magical relleion in the brain and we go into creative overdrive! Is it a protest against hiding from the ever nearing chills of Winter? And o what fun ideas tumble out! Bike shadows snickering at your garden efforts! Two wheels are two eyes watching + shadows = snickering! Quite logical!
Love this post and the bike shadows are simply stunning!

Tracy girl !
You are paranoid is right : ) that was too funny and I think I do know how you feel .. the Goldfinches in my garden totally laugh their little assests ? off at me when I am struggling with digging out a plant or snipping vines that want to grab me ? and not in a nice way ! LOL .. I have a grape vine too and they can be tempermental, so you aren't alone girl !
Love the spokes .. reminds me of being a kid again and having those clothes pegs with cards run against the spokes to make pretend engine noises .. ahhh ! to be an innocent kid again ? LOL

Fantastic shadow shot! What a joy to be gardening near that shadow - even if the spokes were smirking and snickering!

They'd be snickering at me too! I am definitely not the gardener in the famil! I am a killer of plants!
Great shadow though!

I wouldn't be dismayed.

Bicycles are among the most self-righteous and cynical of vehicles.

The smirk at everything.

Snickered at by shadows ...

I can only hope the grape vine survived! :=}

Hi,

You are too funny. Since your gardening skills are probably no worse than mine, I'll now start thinking all the inanimate things around are mocking me!! Good Shadow Shot & happy SSS to you.
