Look down before you look up DSC_6763
My grandmother always told me to keep my head up and look straight ahead. She thought I spent too much time looking down and felt that showed that I was not confident or something. I do look down a lot but it has nothing to do with confidence, back then I just wanted to see what I could find on the ground. As a child, I often found money :) My childhood days are long gone but I still look down a lot, especially when I am in my backyard. You never know what little treasure may be in your path :)
I look up a lot too, there's always a lot going on above me. I keep thinking that I will take a blanket outside and lie down and see what kind of shots I am able to get of the beauties flying above. There is swallow-tailed kite that flies just above the tree tops on occasion. I never see it until it's right above me and have never gotten a decent shot. A crow was chasing a pelican over my house a few days ago. I got a horrible shot of that but I thought it was pretty funny. Lots and lots of ducks fly over, I can only ID the black bellied whistling duck. One of these days one might stop in and check out my pond. Many other beautiful birds fly over as well. Looking up is always a good idea, but not until you look down to make sure you are not going to squish a little treasure like this gulf fritillary that was in my path or a caterpillar on a journey to pupate.
I hope your day is going well, thanks for checking in.
