Don’t Forget to Look Up, well I went for a walk to my favorite little lake here and they have a dock over the water and some benches to sit on. I walked up to the benches and sat down one early morning. I was enjoying the view in front of me and then I looked up and to my surprise, right above me stood this beautiful Egret bird, as quiet as it could be.

I slowly raised my camera up to photograph this bird high above me. Then it flew off, what a fun surprise this was. Sometimes I focus to much on what is right in front of me and I miss the beauty that surrounds me from above looking down at me.

To Go in Search Of

By Sandra | June 4, 2021

To Go in Search Of is a synonym for looking up. Which I am doing all the time. Sometimes we get so focused on just looking a few feet in front of us or what is in our hands, we forget to look up. To go in search of the Light. It is every where, it is stunning at times to see the Light shine through objects, nature.

It gives a new perspective on what I am looking at, with the light shinning through the leaves, I see every vein, the heart beat of the leaves in front of me. With a sparkle of light at the tip of one leaf below, as if it is saying, ” Now you see me”.

Well the Moss is Green

By Sandra | March 31, 2021

Well the Moss is Green, I do love looking at moss on trees. When you get really close, it is like looking at a miniature forest. We had some snow a couple of days ago so there is still a little snow ice on the moss. The grass is not turning green yet and no buds on the trees. But the moss is always pretty to look at.

What Might This Be

By Sandra | March 18, 2021

What Might This Be, I have always been one to stop and look at everything since I was a child. Photography has made it even more fun to look at all the little things that we tend to walk right by without a second glance. How close can I get? What does this look like really close? That is what I am thinking.

Now granted, there always seems to be something that makes me stop and take a second glance. On this particular day, as you might guess, the sparkles of light reflecting off the frost caught my eye right away. I love it when this happens. It can take me along time to take a walk outdoors, because He shows me daily that life is to be enjoyed, to slow down and see, really see everything around us.

Even; Shingles on a Roof

But it is the Light that always stops me and enables me to take a deep breath and just smile.

What Does Your Imagination See

By Sandra | February 3, 2021

What Does Your Imagination See, shadows are quite fun sometimes. Sometimes during the winter I don’t always have a lot to photograph except for what my imagination sees. What do you see below?

I see a tree Gnome, actually there could be two faces, one at the top and the big shadow.

Actually, it is a big tree that fell over in a storm last fall and right where you see the shadow, that is where the tree broke off. Left side of the shadow is higher than the ride side. So it is an optical illusion really. 😏🤔
