Friday My Town Shootout..Look Up..Look Down..


(please click on the pictures to make them larger)
There is just something magical about fog.. Softens everything. Takes all the hard edges off everything..kinda like natural bokeh!!

So this weeks the theme is Look Up and Look Down...how fun was this. For the first time in a while every one of my photos in my shootout was taken this week..so here we go..look up at this seagull in the fog.

Look down at this fellow..let me get up close...

I just had to go down there and see what was there...

Look what I found..bitsy mushrooms!!

I also looked up and found these new little buds..waaaay too early for these!!


I looked down and saw the remains of Fall.

I looked closer and saw this beautiful moss carpet..

Then at band camp...uhmmm sorry ...I looked up and spied this sweet little bird...so need a telephoto..maybe when taxes come back....

Oh and then I saw this beautiful crow fly over my head..his wings made this amazing whooshing sound..

Last night I looked up and saw this beautiful moon!

Are ya dizzy yet?? Hope you all have a wonderful week!! Namaste, Sarah

The Moon, give me the moon! Okay Sarah the snow is till falling at least on your site, lol...I was warm till I saw that!

All your photos always rock, Mr Corky would like it over here, he might want to fly to that moon! :)

The second photo is awesome but that moon shot is stunning. It is absolutely gorgeous. I love all of your nature pics of looking up and looking down. amazing views.

The moon is exquisite! And the close-ups. Very cool selections.

Suburban Girl said...

Your shots have very mystical feeling. I saw the moon last night too but didn't get the camera. :/

Hilary said...

Yes, my head is spinning - your photos are lovely. That second one in particular is a stunner.

Heather said...

Sarah!!! Great shots. I was sure that I saw a few buds on our tree's earlier this week too...but didn't dare to get a close up. I just hoped that it wasn't true...here in Vermont, we're sure to get freezing temps, more snow and these precious little budlings just can't survive that.

I tried the moon shot this morning...TOO DARNED COLD out there. I couldn't keep myself still enough for a good shot. Frustrated. I gave up, hoping to see a few in the FSO's today :)

Kerry said...

I love the misty sky with the seagull. And the moon has been so bright the last few nights-glad you got a shot of that!

The moon is the best shot I've seen so far. The others were enjoyable, also. Thanks for the fun.

Barry said...

Mist always makes for such moody photography; but it was the moon shot in the final picture that took my breath away.

Excellent.

Barry & Linda

YEA! Yippee! Hurray..... got my computer back - will need to do some file clean-up because using file backup to restore my data seems to have duplicated everything - don't ask why.

now your post. yes the fog is wonderful for softening everything even sounds - I love it. very nice overall photos, do I have to chose - okay the new bud.... no the moss.... no the moon... heck they are all great.

The moss carpet and the moon are beautiful shots!

Barbara said...
