Recently I was standing on our balcony enjoying the spring sunshine when I happened to look down and notice these delicate shadows cast on the concrete patio below. I of course went inside the house right away to get my camera. Something I've learned from photographing close to home is that there are always new visual discoveries to be made even in your own backyard.
I walk past this house on my street almost every day and seldom pay any attention to it. However, this time I decided to take a closer look and noticed these fanciful railing shadows cast on the front steps. Reminder to self: don't let things become so familiar that you stop seeing them.
I always enjoy chasing shadows with my camera. They evoke a sense of mystery, plus they can offer surprising new ways of seeing the world around us.
