Desert Garden Shadows

I love taking photos in the late afternoon. Today I was strolling through the garden, looking for something blooming to post, but other than a few Desert Marigolds, there was nothing going on. However, I did notice a few nice shadows here and there.

Mesquite Tree shadow. A heart-shaped sun catcher hangs in the branches.

Not much blooming here either! I love the red shadow the heart sun-catcher made. Beautiful!

great pics... I think I like the bell the best. We might actually get some sun here today! I've got a whole lot of winter gardening to do, and every weekend up to now has been to cold to get it done...

I'd argue against your having 'nothing going on'. I saw green in one of the photos and you didn't have to go far to find it:)

Today is a perfect day for shadows. The temps here are bitter but it at least brought blue skies and the shadows contrast nicely on the snow.

Lovely warm welcoming photos, a fabulous counterpoint to my yard where yet more snow is falling...(!)

Hmmm, I THOUGHT I posted a comment, but I can't find it on my browser so maybe I just was planning it. It's so good to bask in the warmth of your photos, especially while it's snowing here AGAIN.

I love your photo shadows. You have a good eye.

Very artistic Ayiana. And so nice to see shadows-that means the sun is shinning somewhere.

There is not a lot blooming here either, but for different reasons. Love that little lizzard on the wall, very colourful.

This kind of lizzard I would love to welcome in my garden :-) ! And I also like the lovely bell you have! Very nice snapshots!
