Just Look Up – Sometimes we can get to focused on only what is right in front of us and miss the big picture of what surrounds us.

The never ending, what seems to be bad news, pushed on us from all angles can be overwhelming at times. But for me, there is always one constant, one source of Light that shines every minute of every day that is breathtaking, encouraging and beyond anything our minds and hearts can comprehend at times.

Just look up and see the beauty of creation, see how small we really are and how important life is. Day or night the Light is there, within the stars, the clouds. It is always there.

  8. Hey if I may ask (assuming you took these pics of the milky way), how’d you do that? Do you need like a super hi tech camera or any dslr would do?

  15. Excellent work
    I’m new here and this was the 1st thing I saw
    I have to tell you that this made my day

    2. Stars are very beautiful and calm I must say because whenever we look at it,, it’s always give a hope of a bright future ahead of us ☺️

  23. These photos give me butterflies 🦋 I don’t know much about photography personally but I know they speak to me. Thanks 🙂

  24. The good news is I can load your posts now – bad news is I had to switch to MS Edge as Firefox is giving me the same request header fields too large. Hit and miss which ones I can comment on as I am getting an error when I try to comment on your older posts. Will continue to try and do different things to see if I can figure this out.

    1. I looked up that error and it mostly talked about clearing cache, so I did all of that. It did say to check the code of the blog itself, that it might be to long. But I have no idea what that is and pretty sure it is beyond my pay grade 😊.

      1. I dug into it and it was pretty much isolated to client side request headers and not the server response which the message seemed to imply. Should be all good now – fingers crossed.

  27. Thank you for this post A friend took me to Death Valley one year. I’ve been itching lately to look at the Milky Way again and take photos. Amazing how much effort is necessary to get beyond light pollution. Even more so how people don’t know what they’re missing because of it.

    It’s like light pollution has disconnected some of us from the universe or at least created the illusion of such.

    1. Yes, this is so true. I believe technology also has taken the beauty of nature away from folks. Where they tend to look at their phones more and miss all of this amazing beauty that is right in front of us. We were in southern Texas last winter, lots of dark sky locations there as well. 😊

      1. I agree. You just described the biggest issue of the times. It seems most people have lost a sense of wonder and inquisitiveness about the world 🌎. That’s bad. Really really bad.

  29. I agree!

    There is so much to be gained by gazing up at the sky. With modern life focused so much at gazing down at the phone, it’s great to be reminded of how powerful it was for people thru the centuries to revel in the beauty of the heavens above us.

    Thx for posting! 🙂

    1. You are so welcome, yes you bring up a good point. People are looking down so much at that device in their hands. They are missing so much 🙂

    1. Yes, I live in a dark sky area and you can see the milky way clearly every night if there are no clouds. I do brighten the exposure a bit in the editing process because that depends on my shutter speed I use.

    1. Thank you Tim, the night sky’s have been so clear this past week and nice and warm. That makes it easier to take the camera out in the middle of the night.

  48. Thank you Sandra. Excellent advice. These are great photos. There’s a purity in the sky, a constant. And there’s always a lot going on up there, especially at night. For most of world history, before the electrification of the planet, the night sky was always very well lit up and much more clearly revealed. The message was easier to read for those who could perceive it. But even then far too many people remained focused always on the lesser perceptions of the surface. I would venture that now a likely greatest percentage ever never look up to behold the wonder of the night sky, as if it is not even there. This is in part because it is difficult to see and has too much competition from artificial light, as opposed to the past when clear nights, especially in northern climes, were ablaze in glory. Thanks for the great reminders. Blessings, and have a great weekend.

    1. Yes RJ, people are so distracted by artificial light that they can’t see the most beautiful creation of Light right above us. Have a wonderful weekend.
