Monday, November 9, 2020 On the Down Low

I had to get way down low to get these photographs. Sometimes it’s nice to get a different perspective on the world and to see things from a different angle. I’m a fairly self-conscious person and this was along a somewhat busy road, so I kept waiting for there to be no cars coming either way before I laid down on the ground to get these shots. Self-conscious people always think that everyone is looking at them, when in reality, nobody really cares that someone is lying on their stomach on the grass with a camera taking photos of feathers and old dandelions. Actually, I think that might get my attention if I were driving by.

My favorite is the top one. You could almost imagine that the background is a wide expanse of gray sea and yellowish sky. It was the road, which is considerably less interesting, not to mention less romantic.

Here are a couple more photos from the same day, ones that I was able to take while standing up and not drawing undue attention to myself.

“…and I think to myself
what a wonderful world.”

Yes, indeedy!

I’ll probably delete this in the morning, or at the very least, wish I’d come up with more to say. Still, if I’ve left you singing a song, that’s not bad for a day’s work.
