Curvy Shadows

We found these shadows at Lake Balboa in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California a couple of weeks ago.  We had intended to visit the nearby Japanese Gardens, but they were closed while we were in the area.  Lake Balboa did turn out to be a great place to watch birds though.

Great Blue Heron

Great Egret

Camel ?
Ok, not a bird, but it had a nice little shadow at 11:00am.

If you enjoy shadows,  hop on over to Tracy's Hey Harriet Blog for  Shadow Shot Sunday.

    I like the heron and egret. From their spindly legs to pointed beaks, the water avians look tall and proud. The camel looks pleasant as it lies in the sand. And to think I thought camels were mean. Here he is personable!

    I love the way the trees seem to be leaning in the camel photo - the area must get some wind! Also, that little tiger is very scary!

    Your (non-bird) camel reminds me of the old bit about being thankful that camels CAN'T fly.

    That heron shadow is awesome, but the camel is over the top including the shadow.

    Fun looking curvy shadows. And the smile on the camel's face is really cute too.

    That looks like a lovely day out! I don't think I've seen a heron quite so big before. The ones here are much smaller! Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen a camel quite like that one before either ;)

    I love herons and egrets - they have so much character. So does the camel, by the way! Although in his case I think maybe I'd say "attitude" instead of "character".
