This is my application for the contest Shadow Hunters Community SMASh Contest- Round 418 by 
Hey,
How’s it going? I want to share with you and my readers the shadows I caught in my house. I would call this collection "Homemade Shadows".
Which shadow was the first in this collection?
Probably the door handle.
Of course, some of the shadows were wild, and I tried to catch them, but some were made by me with my own hands. This shadow was made by the morning Sun, I saw it and managed to catch it with my iPhone.
Since September 1 last year, my daughter and I have been living in our friend's apartment. It's the shadow of this apartment.
This young cat Bella, has been living with us for almost 2 months now. I've already told you about her. But today I want to show the shadow that is glued to the cat.
I often cook breakfast at home on Saturday and Sunday. And again, the morning Sun helped me; it made this shadow. Did someone recognize this plant?
Sweet pepper. My youngest daughter doesn't eat peppers and tomatoes. Therefore, we have to cook some dishes personally for her without these products.
This is not always convenient.
This shadow was caught on March 9th.
For some reason, it has become fashionable for the last 5 years to give a bouquet of tulips on International Women's Day.
I've even seen men give their beloved girls 2 bouquets: roses and tulips.
We had only tulips on the table this year. My wife combined 3 bouquets into one, because I have 3 bouquet owners living at home - mom, wife, and daughter.
10th of March. The flowers have already lowered their heads. Tulips are very delicate flowers, and their life in a vase is very short.
The weight of this kettlebell is 24 kg. Yes, my muscles are not as strong as in the old days.
In 2007, I started building a house and easily carried bags of cement weighing 50 kg.
I easily lifted a bag of granulated sugar weighing 50 kg on my hands to the 3rd floor.
About 5 years ago, I noticed that it became difficult for me to lift such bags. When I was young, I easily played with a 32 kg kettlebell. Now I'm still trying to play with a 24kg kettlebell to keep my muscles toned.
My desk in the house is next to the window. This window faces south, and in spring and autumn, the sun prevents me from working. It can be easier in summer. But I decided to move to work on the second floor, in a room with a window facing northwest. It will be more comfortable for me to work there.
But through this window, in winter, I looked at the birds at the feeder. That's what always stopped me from moving to another room to work.
This photo was taken on March 8th. It was cold, and a lot of birds flew to the feeder. But for the second week now, I haven't seen any birds at the feeder; they haven't arrived. I would have thought that this was due to the arrival of warm weather, but last year the birds came even when the snow had completely melted. I do not know the reason for the absence of birds, and I do not like it.
Of course, my collection of homemade shadows is much larger than I have shown. But I've already tired you, friends. I'm finishing my story.
Friends, I am glad that you are reading my posts. Feel free to cast your vote for my project. And feel free to comment! Your feedback and communication are important to me.
