October Photo Challenge - Shadows

I can't believe we are coming into the second week of October already....I've been busy taking pictures for the photo challenge and am putting them into groups rather than uploading them all together so here are some
shadows......

An arc of ivy leaves and shadows

I changed the colour on this one using Picasa and it sort of has a Wizard of Oz feel to it now....

I would have liked to have had a nice flower shadow but the only thing growing in this pot was a weed but it does cast a good shadow don't you think???

After our mammoth conker collecting session last week I finally got round to make some holes in a few conkers and attaching the string, it took a little while for the kids to get the hang of it and it also offered a great opportunity in the afternoon sun for some dramatic shadows....

which I made into a collage using Picasa.
