Skywatch - so hot!

We've been having a heat wave over here - thankfully I live in the mountains, and so even when it's blazing hot, we usually still have a breeze. But there have been no clouds to speak of, and record-high temperatures. Does this evening's sunset express that as well as I think it does?

Hot!!

Shadow Shot!

I've been posting lots of windows and doors lately, as you surely know, for our sweet little meme, Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors. I captured this window a while ago, but I decided that the shadows here were actually much more impressive than the window itself, and so I've saved them for Shadow Shot Sunday. Please forgive any confusion in the overlapping of these two memes :)

A Ruby Red Field

Last month, a bright red field cropped up suddenly on the side of a road. It was the biggest thing I've ever seen, and most everyone I know went to see it for themselves and take pictures. Sadly, the day that I took my daughter and her friend, the sun had gone behind some clouds, but it was spectacular nonetheless. Check this out - and feel free to click on any of these if you'd like a closer view!

Here are my new friends: the Papa door, Mama window, and teeny tiny Baby window. Awww.

A ridiculous shadow shot

Well, my blogging has taken over the household. It's gotten so that when my eleven year old daughter spotted herself in shadow form, rather than think happy Peter Pan thoughts, she called me immediately: Eema! I found you a shadow shot for Sunday! And so, with no further ado:

Of course once I had it, I naturally couldn't resist posting :)

Skywatch! An angry sky

Well, maybe not angry. But certainly confused!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #27

Greetings all, and welcome back to our favorite little meme!

As you may have seen from my previous shadow shot, I spent a couple of hours on a photo walk last week. We wandered around Yemin Moshe, a tiny neighborhood in Jerusalem, very nearby the Old City. I've been near it more times than I can count, and somehow hadn't ever actually walked through. At any rate, wow! This place is beautiful - each home more picturesque than the next. And what a lot of interesting windows and doors! I'm going to try to hold back and not post more than one or two a week, we'll see if I can resist... 

At any rate, here's the first one that I found - an itty bitty window. Isn't it sweet?

Now it's your turn! To participate in Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors, just link up below with your photo of a window, door, or anything architectural. Climb aboard! Thanks for coming, all, and have a great week!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Your Choice!

I was lucky enough to be out on a photo walk a few days ago with the great Yehoshua Halevi. Right at the beginning, we found this lovely walkway, and started trying to decide the best way to capture it. So - do you like it better all on its own?

Or with a human in it, to give us a sense of scale and motion?

I can't decide :)

For more lovely shadows, do check out Shadow Shot Sunday 2, that wonderful meme. You'll be glad that you did! Happy shadow hunting, everyone!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #26

Welcome back to our favorite little meme!

Today I have an intriguing specimen for you - these windows light up so interestingly, and I couldn't resist stopping to take a photo. This is an apartment building nearby my house. Cool, don't you think?

I find the different shades of light fascinating - is it due to incandescent vs. fluorescent? Or perhaps differently colored walls, reflecting the light? I don't know, but I'm glad to have captured it, so that I can look more carefully :) 

Now it's your turn! To participate in Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors, just post a photo of a window, door, or anything architectural, link here, and then sign up in the widget below. Thanks for playing along - it's so much fun for me to see what you've found!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #25

We're back again for this week's installment of your favorite new meme, Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! This week I have a very very old doorway for you - get ready:

 I took these this past week, as we were waiting to get into an amazing light show on the walls of Migdal David, the Tower of David. After we got in, I was asked not to take any photos, so although the gardens were beautiful, I guess you'll have to come to Jerusalem if you want to see them!

Now it's your turn! To participate in Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors, just post a photo of a window, door, or anything architectural, link here, and then sign up in the widget below. It's fun to see what we all have to share! Thanks for playing! And have a great week, everyone!
