Shadow Hunters SMASh Contest-Round 324

in Shadow Hunters6 months ago

Hello fellow #shadow #hunters, hope you are enjoying the springtime.

I went out yesterday to hunt shadows, it was a warm, sunny day, with blue skies and just a little breeze to keep the bugs away.

With my Cannon Power Shot SX530 HS slung over my neck I hopped on my quad and went for a spin.

Without leaving the #homestead, I cruised the property. Every tree I passed was leaving some awesome shadows. It's amazing how different the place looks now, with all the trees covered in leaves and blossoms, just a few short months ago everything was bare branches and bleak. Now our place is rich in color and cute shadows, like the ones on the little green cabin, as well as the one on the grass under a big tree.

This patch of land was cleared last summer by @thebigsweed, using his new tractor, gosh, boys sure do love their toys, don't they? 😁

After some tree stumps were dug out and pushed into the woods, we spread fresh topsoil and grass seed. I was so happy to see in early spring that the grass was starting to take hold. The #shadow from a large maple tree landed nicely on our new patch of grass.

This tree shadow is a small walnut tree in our lower plantation, the shadow looks a little fuzzy because the grass was newly mowed by yours truly. In the background, you'll notice the big guy playing with his tractor, AGAIN.

While I was still out riding, I stopped by my friend's house to say hello and spotted the hood of the chiminea. I thought it was pretty cool, the entire thing was in the shade, but as the breeze blew the leaves above the sunlight peeped through and formed some pretty cool images.

It was a nice afternoon with shadows everywhere.

Oh goody, thanks so much.

It was an awesome day of mild breeze and shadows up here too.

Caught a shadow in the dog park with my little guy too!

Love the strolls around the grounds at your homestead so much.

Good morning, Zeke. We have had some gorgeous weather here in Upstate this past week and today is no exception. Our garden has been planted and my roses are waking up and starting to bloom. I really enjoy riding the quad around the neighborhood, the wildflowers are everywhere, and so are the shadows.

I am feeling good and I hope you are too.
love your pup!

What lovely leafy tree shadows! Your patch of newly sown grass is doing great!

Spring is wonderful, I think it is the best season of the year, seeing the trees covered in leaves is incredible

What a great job they have done on the property, it looks great, yes, we love these types of toys, that's great, I would like to have one at home

What beautiful shots of shadows, I love when nature intervenes

Have a splendid weekend

Good day @jlufer, nice to hear from you. Spring is such a busy time for us, planting our summer garden, cleaning up the downed branches from the winter snow and getting the pond ready for summer fun. We are always improving the property, little bits at a time. We love it.

Hope you are well and happy, have a wonderful weekend.
