The farmer's market at Whole Foods is in a rather fancy shopping center. I brought my camera since it is "The Fountains" and I thought I would get some watery shots along with my local produce and meat. The shadows were as good as the water shots.
They had some very interesting benches.
And since it is the Fountains I caught some wet shadows as well.
The shadows of these metallic butterflies are wonderful, The shapes leave nice shadows, the shapes of imagination. The shadows fall so nicely on the textured sidewalk, the light being altered a bit to make complexity of the wings even better. all nice!
Those benches are unique, and they cast interesting shadows, as well! RuneE at visualnorway.blogspot.com has an informal bench meme each Friday you might find interesting.
Hi Martha, I visited the Monarch Sanctuary at Pacific Grove a couple years ago - they had a bench just like the ones you "shadowed." Love the water droplet shadows, too.
I enjoyed all the shadows BUT the benches were my favorites! Butterfly benches! How unique. I am going to link your post to my bench blog -- maybe my friend in France will drop by to see it too. Thank you, thank you , thank you!
Love the artistic curves of the butterfly shadows.
P.S. If I did not drive to Big Bear that day (Dia de los Muertos 10-24) I would have gone to the festival. I have seen a lot of beautiful pictures in flickr.. It was open until 11pm, I still could have made it. When I got there in the morning, only big items were left and all graveside decors were gone. It would have been an experience for me, until next yeart.

Great captures-my favorite is the fountain.

Oh, I love all your shadow shots today, Martha -- not that that's unusual. I particularly love the fountain and water drops, perfect! Terrific!
Have a great day!

The leaf and butterfly benches are so pretty and so are their shadows. Looks like you were there at just the right time!
I love it when boring things are made more fun like those benches. Your water shot is great!
Nice benches!! ...and lovely lacey shadows - the water dropplets are my fave though!
What a wonderful grouping of shadows, love the droplets of water and the brilliant sunshine!
Beautiful benches,

The chairs look ready to take flight!
They are very artistic benches and I love the butterfly shadows they make. Your shadow shots are outstanding, thanks for sharing Martha.
Marvelous shadow series ... love them all! You DO have a way with the camera lens ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
My Shadow Shot
Dark shadows gather
where sunlight shines the brightest—
dark and light wedded.
You have the gift for spotting and recording interesting shadows. It takes a special eye.
the chairs throus some lovely shadows but the last shot is my favourite...

Why can't we all have beautiful benches like these? They are a pure joy.
My favourite is The Wet Shadows! Lovely shadows!
