November List- shadow

Did you ever do this as a kid? I kept my sisters entertained quite a bit with shadow stories.

[👑 AnaZad]

Oh this is so much fun. You captured it so nicely.

[Karen Williams]

Good to see you back. Great capture. I used to do this too.

[Sally Ings]

Always loved seeing what shapes we could come up with. Haven't done it for years!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@anazad511 Thank you Ana!
@kandernob Thank you Karen! It's good to be back! But so much catching up to do!!
@salza Thank you Sally!

It was the first thing that came to mind when I read today's word, so it seemed appropriate to stage one.

[Cathy Donohoue]

I love shadow puppets. Good job. Glad you're here.

[Kerri]

Cool

[Maggiemae]

This looks like a rabbit about to say something! Great memories for me too!

[Bev]

I still do that as an adult!! Nice shot!

[Vickie Posey]

I really like your bunny there. Great idea. I about flipped when I saw your shot for toady, a hand shot like mine. I guess the hands have it today. :-) Good to see you back :-)

[Allison Williams]

Cute! We used to have a unit of study in 4th grade which included Indonesian shadow puppets. Absolutely fantastic artistry to create them and perform with them.

[Henri Russell]

Good shadow.

[8yearson]

Yes, but had forgotten till now, good interpretation of today's word!

[Nicole Campbell]

Cool photo Ann, I was expecting you to tell us a story about the image :)

[Colleen]

Too cute, I try to teach my students a few!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cdonohoue @kerristephens @maggiemae @prttblues @vposey @allie912 @henrir @jackie8 @nicolecampbell @httpgeffed

Thanks to all for such nice comments on a totally goofy shot! I had fun doing it though. Oh, Nicole- I'm sorry! I didn't even think about telling a story with it. However, I highly recommend "The Velveteen Rabbit" if you want something to read with your daughters and build self-esteem. As for adults, I remember reading Watership Down years ago and really liking it, but I have completely forgotten the story line!

[Yvonne]

Oh, I tried to do shadow puppets last night so I could do them for the shot today, but could never make them look right. Yours is GREAT.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@yonnie Thank you Yvonne! I was very close to the light source and also close to the wall. I don't know if that made a difference but I will be honest and say as goofy as this is, I threw out 5 other shots of the same thing! 6 shots to get one hand shadow? Silly me!

[Chris]

Wonderful capture, the reflections looks like letter E.

[Laraine Kensicki]

if you put your other hand in the same shape at the same it means "quotation" in sign language (really)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@chrismarfil Thank you Chris! Haha- it's supposed to be a rabbit! But it's a little hard to pull my hands in tightly now with the arthritis.
@eniaral Thanks Laraine! It'd be a little tricky to take the shot with no hands. hehe

[Ellen Young]

LOL!! My Sisters and i used to do this all the time! Love it Ann!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@ellimae Thank you Ellen!

[Rick Schies]

As a kid, heck, I stiull do it LOL

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@digitalrn It's good to be young at heart!

[Lyn]

Ah, such fun!! We always used to do this - in fact I've entertained my granddaughter this way recently!

[Livia]

Yeah, we had fun as kids doing it! I was fascinated by the shadows. Great shot, Ann!

[alia_801]

We did that too. I saw a professional performer do these at a show a few weeks ago - he could do (recognisable) different people, really complicated animals... it was amazing! I struggle to do my own shadow sometimes! :)

[Laura]

Welcome back. Great image.

[Dione Giorgio]

Yes, we did. I, too, saw an amazing professional performance once. I love this shot. great shadow.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@lyno @myautofocuslife @alia_801 @la_photographic @sangwann

Thanks Lyn, Livia, Alia, Laura and Dione!

[bkb in the city]

I remember doing that as a kid. Nice way of coming up with a shadow, create your own

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bkbinthecity It was the first thing that popped into my head- although I did take a couple runner-ups around the house. Thanks Brian!

[Carole Imes]

Oh, how clever. Perfect for the challenge or theme. That was always fun.

[Huda Morcos]

Beautiful shadow puppet!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cimes1 thanks carol! @hudamor Thanks huda!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Oh yes!!

[bruni]

Of course it was always fun..my late sister and I counted the roses on the curtains in our bedroom and since she was 7 years older she was the rose queen..can't remember what I was but definitely not a rose..funny what some things bring certain memories back to you.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@ruthmouch Thank you Ruth!
@bruni Thank you Bruni!

We'll be heading home in a little while, so I'll be back to view your pictures soon.

[Nada A.]

What a fun shot! Love how big that shadow looks.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nadaa thanks Nada! I think it's because it was so close to the light source.

[summerfield]

done shadow stories, too. i'm still doing it for the grands. the new set of grands so love it. very nice.

[Wendy Bowden]

very cute idea, love it. One of Ed's favourites games with daddy, he makes a dog to chase daddy's shadow

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thank you Vikki! Haven't told shadow stories for the grandkids yet, but that's a good idea for when we see them at Christmas.

@wenbow Thanks Wendy! That sounds like a fun thing to watch- you must love it.
