Today the sun shone its light into our rooms. As yesterday, accessing the gallery by clicking on any image will reveal individual titles.
This afternoon I watched the televised Six Nations rugby matches between Italy and Ireland, and between Wales and England.
Dinner this evening consisted of tasty baked gammon; creamy mashed potatoes; piquant cauliflower cheese; crunchy carrots; and tender runner beans, with which Jackie drank Hoegaarden and I drank more of the Merlot Tannat.
So pretty! I have thing for shadows, and I love the way they fill your house.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Your plants are smiling in that sunshine. They are so healthy looking! Sunshine makes me healthier looking, too! <3
Tanks very much, Jan X
Excellent pictures Derrick. Amazing would can be found when we go searching.
🙂 Thanks a lot, Andrew
What a treat, the sun afetr a period of gloom.
Indeed, Yvonne. Thank you very much
Oh wow Derrick … Let the sunshine in..

It has been a bit of a wait, Ivor 🙂 Thanks very much
Derrick, I was young at that time. 🙂
Such a difference a sunny day makes. I’m glad you enjoyed the rugby. Not for me though, I switched off in favour of writing in advance for the blogs.
Rather sensible, if you ask me, Sue. 🙂 Thank you very much
Yes, I caught the end of England and Wales! 🙂
I greatly enjoyed your shadow studies. Sunny rooms are one of life’s little pleasures.
I’m pleased, Liz. Many thanks
My pleasure, Derrick.
There’s nothing that I enjoyed more than sitting in a sunny room on a cold winter day. Lovely shots today, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Jill
Gorgeous, artistic sun and shadows photos! My favs are Shadows on the Staircase, Backlit Leaves, and Shadows in the Kitchen!!! 🙂 I’m sure the sun is pleased that you showed it’s bestest work! 😉
(((HUGS))) and Happy Sunny Whee-kend to you and Jackie!!! 🙂
PS… I know a grape who spends his time sitting in the sun. It’s his raisin d’etre. Ha! 😉 😛
Thank you for your usual humorously exuberant comments, Carolyn 🙂
A wonderful sunshine day.
Thank you very much, Mrs W
We finally got out of the freezing temperatures. The first sun made it into our home. Bright light, showing me it’s time for some serious spring cleaning…sigh
Ah, yes. I had to avoid our windows in the shots 🙂 Thanks very much, Bridget
The windows, the flowers, the sparkling floors – everything seems to reflect light and smiles – spring must have sprung! 🙂
It does seem so, Emma. Many thanks
I love a sunny room, and it doesn’t even have to be mine for me to appreciate it! Yours are lovely, and it must be spirit-lifting to have so much sunshine after your recent weeks of rain, gloom, and such.
Quite so, Linda. How did you know? 🙂 Thanks very much.
glad to finally have sunshine, Derrick! 🙂 🙂
Yes, indeed, Lola. Thanks very much.
The sun so enhances our homes. It’s a blessing. 🙂
Very interesting study of the shadows in different rooms and settings, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Dolly. As we have a south facing garden the sunlight pictures all appear in the back. The sun does not penetrate the north facing front 🙂
You are very welcome, Derrick. We have the opposite setup: kitchen is facing north, and the front windows face the courtyard. As a result, fortunately, we don’t get sun anywhere, which is the most prized architectural trick in South Florida.
🙂
Thanks for inviting us indoors along with Mr Sun. It’s tranquil and soulful inside, as the Japanese lady will testify.
She was a present from Ginene Nagel of https://foxandfinchantiques.wordpress.com who I don’t think is blogging any more. Thanks very much, Uma.
Great photos!
Your photographs always lift my spirits
I’m so pleased, Gary. Thank you very much.
I love the light and shadows in your photos. There is warmth is the glow 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
A beautiful home filled with soft light, warmth and love! Glad you are getting some sunny weather as spring draws nearer. 🙂
Thank you very much, Lavinia.
I love your sunny rooms photos. They’re so cheerful.
Thank you very much, Nikki.
There is a lovely sense of warmth and ‘renewal’ when one can open the curtains and let the sunshine in. Having said that, we have had far too much of it and so the closed curtains help to keep the heat at bay. As the autumn proceeds and the winter arrives, then I too will open our house to invite the sunshine in again.
What a contrast, Anne. Thanks very much.
Sunny here, too, but still pretty cold.
It was cold here, too. Thanks a lot, John
hi Derrick
what beauty you captured with the sun and light bringing shapes and moodiness to each area
and the food sounds good
we had “crunchy baby carrot fries” – they were lightly baked with oil and salt and were so good
They do sound good, Yvette. Thank you very much
Your sunny rooms seem so cozy! I am also fascinated by shadows, and I like your series of shadow photos.
Thank you very much, Merril. A number in the forest today.
I will check back later to see!
I hope the intensity of the sunshine means you had as nice a day there as we did here. The last picture puzzles me. Every time I think my mind has a handle on what it is, the idea slips away.
I’ve realised these are yesterday’s pictures, but the same applies. 🙂
🙂
That is good. I’m pleased to have puzzled you. It is the end of a bed with a white spread over it. Thanks you very much, Susan
So cozy! Enjoy the sunlight ☀️
hi
like all the light and shadow but my favs today are the direct street sheets
the car and jogger
the car and cyclist
the car and walkers
you give us this moment of time
life in action
and a pulse of life with the pauses in the other photos with sunlight
Thank you very much for all this, Yvette
😊☀️
My fave is the light across the stairs. Each one of these photos makes me think of Spring sun, and that means each one brought me a bit of happiness. Thank you! I had to look it up: gammon. Aha! Seems like that would be more common of a thing, since I never told anyone I needed my ham always pre-prepared for me.
And thank you, Crystal
