It's been a while since I've joined in the hunt for interesting shadows, but a last minute invite from my daughter to join her family at Morgan's Wonderland gave me the opportunity to capture some shadow images.
That first image above is my entry for this week's shadow contest. Show Me A Shadow is the weekly contest created by @melinda010100 and brought to you by the Shadow Hunters Community - hive-179017. If you want to show off your shadow photos, you will find details on this week's SMASh contest here.
As I mentioned above, all of these shadow photos were clicked at Morgan's Wonderland, an "ultra-accessible" theme park in San Antonio, Texas.
Morgan Hartman was born with special needs that made her different from other children. Inspired by Morgan, her parents founded The Gordon Hartman Family Foundation in 2005, in order to aid other children and adults with special needs.
During a family vacation, Morgan wanted to play with some other kids who were tossing a ball around in a hotel swimming pool. When Morgan approached the other children, they took their ball and left her. The smile Morgan had while watching the other kids play, and look of dismay on her face when they ignored her inspired her father to create a place where those with special needs could laugh and play like everyone else. With that inspiration, Morgan's Wonderland was born in an abandoned quarry in San Antonio.
Morgan's Wonderland is a completely wheelchair-accessible park, featuring more than 25 elements, including rides, playgrounds, and other colorful attractions, and anyone with a special need is admitted free of charge.
I hope that you enjoyed these shadow images. Before I go, let me add one more, a shadow selfie:
Some nice photos there!

Hope you could share some new photos soon! Life has been too intense here!

This is a great post! Those are some cool shadows. It's heartbreaking to hear what happened to Morgan, but inspiring that her dad used it as a way to make a place where special needs kids and adults can have fun and be themselves.
On a separate note, I noticed you had reblogged one of my articles to enter the contest but hadn't followed me. I just wanted to let you know so you can give me a follow, and I can get you entered into the contest. 🙂
Thanks for taking a look. I hope Morgan's story inspires similar parks around the world! And, I'm following you now.
