Well it seems we are well on our way to the half way point. It has been a journey for me. I look forward to that last week and get to go back and see what I had posted through out the year.
This Sally told up to "LOOK UP". Well that is easy for me as my desk faces a window and I am always looking at the sky. But I know there are more things "up" than just the sky. So I went and did some snapping in and around where I live.
I put them in collage as I have found I really enjoy playing with that feature that is in the Picasa program I use. We have sky pictures. One is of a lone cloud. If you look closely you can see a heart design. I had been thinking about my mom who passed in Feb. I still forget she is gone. Many time I think, "Oh I need to call and ask, or I wonder if Mom...." then I remember she is in heaven. So I felt that maybe this heart was for me.
The one in the middle is looking up through the branches of my Magnolia Tree in the front yard. The bottom right picture is the same tree from a distance.
The picture with the cows in it are "up" on the hill...so it is a little tongue in cheek picture. Then I have a squirrel in the tree and a wood pecker. I had to look up to photo them.
The moth was on the underside of the roof overhang so I had to "look up" to get his picture. It is really interesting how much MORE of nature I get to experience in the country. Things that I would probably not even bothered to look at in the city!
The two of the flowers, I had to look "up" to get the shots as they were above my head. The purple flowers are a type of orchid, and the orangey flowers are the flowers from a type of bromeliad I believe.
So there you have it. My week of " looking up". For more great pics hop over to Sally's page ,
