Always Look Up...Always Look Down

Watch where you're going but take time to look up.
This glorious sky hung over the valley as I ran errands.

But don't forget to look down.
I found this little flower hiding beneath the leaves while raking.

I raced up the mountain to catch the sunset,
but I was a little late for all its glory.

In the woodlands behind my house, I looked down to discover
this old tree stump providing a home for these mushrooms.

Happy birthday my sweet friend!
All happiness and good energies always in your life!
Take a time for you, take a time for smile without reasons, take a time to rest, to think of beautiful words, poetry and beauty in your days!
Wonderful set of pictures, very appropriate!

You've got looking down and looking up down to an art. That first sky is particularly stunning.

Gail said...

Good eye, great captures.

Wanda said...

I really relate to your post, when walking in the woods, I am forever looking up, then down, and all around.
Your photo of the clouds and rays are beautiful Sunny!

Oh I like this, from the grand to the small, twice. I really like the first picture a lot.

What a joy to discover and capture such a beautiful sky! I'm sure it was also a joy to see the bright sweet flower. I'd say you still captured a glorious sunset. Interesting mushrooms on the tree stump. All a feast for the eyes!

Thanks for sharing some very interesting and pretty sights in your part of the world. You did a very nice job capturing the fall colors. Happy you stopped by my place.

Rae said...

All the photos are nice but I especially like that sunset. The colors are magnificent. Glad you were able to capture it at its peak of perfection. There is only a moment or two before it is lost. You timed it just right.

Have a great day!

Love the shots, but that sky is a winner.

Great shots, every one of them, but I love the 1st photo! I absolutely love rays of light shining down & those clouds are so cool!

Have a wonderful weekend

Happy Birthday!
I love your photos! What amazing things there are to discover! Some are huge like the sky, and others are small and seemingly hidden away.

Sunny said...

Thank you all for stopping by and your wonderful comments.
I'm not sure how the confusion started, maybe a mix up in comments as today is my dog Lucy's birthday. (www.lifewithlucy.com)
I will save all your well wishes for when it's my b'day.
Sunny :)

Shirleyanne said...

Really lovely photos, even the surprise find when looking down!

Hope you've had a good day

Betsy from Tennessee said...

Wish we had two pairs of eyes, Sunny---one to look up and one to look down... ha ha..

When we hike, I have such fears of falling --so I spend 90% of my time looking DOWN... Just think what I miss.

Your photos are GREAT.
Hugs,
Betsy

I so agree that we have to look up and down. Those little details at our feet are so easy to miss and so rewarding to find. Great post Sunny.
