I like the abstract quality of the picture.
I LOVE Ellen. She cracks me up. I rarely watch her show, but she makes me laugh when I do.
Love those long long lines on the building. Great contrasts in this shot. Hope you're not hurrying the weekend by calling out Sunday on Saturday.
love the Ellen quote. :) sounds like you're still waiting for spring to unfurl.
Hi Becky! That lone, bare tree casts such a delicate shadow on the building. Very nice. Happy SSS to you!
A wonderful minimalist shot my friend. See, you see something in nothing and make it great. I would have just walked on by. Even given light to see it a whole lot better, often I am still blind. You open my eyes.
This building is nondescript. Not unattractive, perhaps functional, but not much style. The budding tree adds a character detail here, the large blank wall now a canvas for shadowy art. Nice capture! Enjoy your week
Love that Degeneres quote.
The pastel colors are a perfect backdrop for the single tree and it's shadow. spring is slowly moving in and the progress is dreamy.
I do like trees that grow on walls!
A SEEKER OF SHADOWS
A seeker of shadows, they say,
Will keep her eyes peeled night and day
For resident shades
That haunt the dark glades
And never come outside to play.

such a big building dwarfs the tree. lovely soft tones.
73 degrees here today...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...I'm luvin it, even though I have to work on Saturdays at the Candle Shed, the rest of the week I get to play with my own toys, not a bad work schedule!
So far the open house has been great, sold $200.00 in soaps yesterday, now that's a lotta soap! Hopefully today is even better, Saturdays always are and the rain stayed North, so we lucked out, people are so ready for this weather. My trees are just starting to leaf out, but the only flower have blooming is the violets and dandelions...and my morels, tomorrow they go to the skillet!!!
Have a great weekend Miss Becky!!!

Love your quote from Ellen. And your shadow shot is so crisp and clear. Won't be long before there will be leaves popping out.
Good capture of that lonely shadow. You're correct, the thinnest silouette still casts a shadow. Can't hide from nature.
Peace
Looks like a modernistic picture! Hope the tree wakes up soon.
Surely they shall wake up soon:-)
Love the quote...such a funny woman!
I love the grainy texture of this photo. There really is something about how you captured it, that makes so interesting.
I love the simplicity of this capture, lovely shadow of the lone tree!
i love this little tree shadow, especially the touch of cloud, and grass in the corners.
That quote cracked me up! I used to watch Ellen's show when it was broadcast in one of the local cable channels here. The tree looks forlorn and yet hauntingly beautiful.
Happy Sunday, Ms. Beth!

that quote made me laugh! well composed photo :)
have a great week.
Gorgeous shadow shot!
My Shadow Shots, have a blessed Sunday!
Cute shadow shot...happy SSS!
Less is more. Perfect shot.
Our trees are green neither but it's been mainly sunny but not very warm...
Happy 1st of May!
ps. several people have had similar problem to leave a comment - I'll ask somebody to check what and where the problem is.
Well, come on down to South Texas Ms. Becky!!! The trees are all in full dress and some bloom. Ps...love the quote you used today.

Have a glorious Sunday. Hope to have you as a visitor today when you find time.
Funny quote, Ms Becky. I love the small shadow focus and your words today x
I have a sense of David and Goliath, the small tree and the huge monolithic building, with no windows to even see the tree.
Brilliant photo!
That quotation is hilarious!
Love this shot - so elegant and simple.
Love the quote! Hope the poor tree gets its leaves soon!
Haha...funny quote! Neat shot...I say bring on the leaves!!
How much do I love this shot? Let me count the ways - the lines, the perspective, the subtle colors, the gentle little tree... and oh, yeah, there's a shadow, too! So nice.
The contrast is great. Hopefully soon, you will have the leaves.
Ms. Becky,
I LOVE your shadow shot! The branches are so thin (sorry, I can't think of the right word) and dainty.
The quote that you posted is great too, AND I'm very proud to know that I am a shadow chaser, hanging out with the best of you guys!
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit,
Kathy M.
Thanks for your comment Becky - I think rain gets a bad press...I can tell you like it though from your lovely rainy shots from behind glass. I hope that rather bare tree gets leaves too soon..it casts a nice shadow though. Have a great week as well!
Love your tree shadow!
Nice to meet you Ms. Becky through Shadow Shots. Wonderful shadow picture. I know you look forward to the trees being covered in pretty green leaves! Enjoy your week.
WOW!! NEAT SHADOW SHOT!
I love tree shadows and this is a great one.
I love that Ellen quote. She's definitely one of my favorites.
I love your shadow shot. The contrast between nature and man made. One so fragile and the other of concrete.
It's very stunning.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Hi Ms Becky,
Thanks for your visit! Your shadow shot is lovely. It would make a good painting with its abstract feel, simplicity and lovely soft colours.
This is fun - “but you could see it a whole lot better” – super stuff! I love it.
Cool photo too. Thanks for this.
All the best, Boonie
Looks like a yacht porthole anchored on land.
Becky, there is the deity of spring in Nara, who helps plants bloom, I'll send her to the trees over there. The tree in photo seems to speak to the wall. It needs friend, maybe.Great shot.
Have a nice week!
Wonderful shadow. Great eye!
Great shadow shot!! I hope the trees wake up soon for you!
xoE
good shot!
Ellen's comment totally cracked me up. It is so funny and droll it overshadows (yes! that's a pun) your shadow shot. LOL
Stark and beautiful!
Lol! Ellen cracks me up!
Quietly brilliant! Crisp, a lovely touch of modern twist crafted.
