Sunday Shadow Shot #10

This weeks Shadow shot is of a poor unsuspecting stick insect that Sax found near our front door and terrorised over a couple of days (You'd think the poor thing would have moved on)

I had to include a couple if extra pics this week too, so you really get the idea :) and the little thing also made some great shadows as well

He tired to get away and then I had to contend with the tears and try my hardest to explain why this wasn't really the best pet to try and play with ;)

Have a great day everyone, I am off to bake a cake for my niece's 11th birthday (will post some pics when done)

Don't forget to join in the shadow fun at Hey Harriets (click on the picture in the sidebar for more info)

  5. Love these shadows!

    I agree! The stick insect creates a delicate, beautiful shadow!

    And my favourite too is where the little guy reaches to touch it and the shadows don't quite meet! Delightful!

  6. Ahhh, the praying mantis...what a grand creature to photograph and how innocent is the unfearing finger heading in it's direction. Great shot!

  7. Lovely shots Bel - the insect casts such a delicate shadow (pretty dumb though, if I was a stick insect, I wouldn't be hanging around an inquisitive toddler for long ... even if he is gorgeous!)

  8. Super shots of the stick insect & your little guy trying to play with him. They're not the most playful creatures! They make cool shadows though :)
