Spotting shadows while walking down Broadway.

LOOKING FOR GOODIES
Back and forth the walkers walk,
Up and down the leafless block,
Peering underneath the trees,
Hoping that no sudden breeze
Sweeps away the evidence
Of fair autumn’s providence:
Fruits and nuts and other treats,
Most delectable of sweets!
Walkers walking to and fro,
Thinking to themselves, I trow,
That they have been much too slow—
Where did all the goodies go?

AN INVITATION
Empty benches in a row,
No one hurries to and fro;
Who will pause and take a rest?
Who will be the honored guest?
In the shadow of the tree
Benches beckon you and me:
"Rest your weary feet a while,
Let the shadows make you smile."
"Come, my friends," the benches say,
"It is almost end of the day
And the shadows lengthen fast,
Soon the darkness will be vast;
Haggard ones with weary feet,
You have pounded down the street;
Now we offer you a rest–
Sit on us, we are the best!"

It’s been a long while since I participated in Shadow Shot Sunday. The other day, as I impatiently waited for the bus, I glanced up at the office building across the street and there I saw my shadow shot.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Broadway Malls
April 25, 2010 | Filed Under Broadway Malls, City Streets and Sidewalks, Nature in NYC, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Shadow Shot Sunday, Shadows | 14 Comments
Despite the name Broadway Malls, you can see, this is not a shopping mall on Broadway. The Broadway Malls is a landscaped median strip, stretching from 60th street to 168th street on Broadway. You’ll find benches, plants, trees, birds and sometimes an occassional squirrel. It’s a place where New Yorkers can enjoy a little bit of nature and their surroundings.
On this sunny day, a pattern of shadows also decorated this section of the Broadway Malls — a perfect shot for Shadow Shot Sunday.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Waiting
April 17, 2010 | Filed Under City Streets and Sidewalks, Dogs, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Shadow Shot Sunday | 20 Comments
It was Tax Day and I stepped out of the post office after standing on a very long line after finally taking care of business there. My eyes fell upon these two cutie pies. They anxiously waited for their owner and everytime someone exited the post office building they’d stand and wag their tails. The tail wagging would stop when they didn’t see the person they were looking for. A few strangers would stop and pet them.
I don’t like to see dogs tied up and waiting for their owners. Many times, they seem nervous or anxious. Other times, they just seem uncomfortable. I don’t think it’s safe to leave one’s dogs tied up outside. Not even for a few minutes. I’ve heard and read many sad stories of people’s dogs being stolen from the street when they were left. I never leave my dogs tied up outside by themselves. I’d rather make two trips outside — walk my dogs first, take them back home, and THEN go back outside to run my errands. That way, I know that my dogs are home safe and sound. 
These photos are my submission to Shadow Shot Sunday, when we post photos that highlight shadows. Visit HEY HARRIET to see a fun lineup of other shadow shots from around the world.
