Hearing I Stand Alone -- Steve Perry
For this week's photo shoot, I'm asking you to show a little perspective:

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Put your camera on the ground to shoot a picture of something you don't usually see from the bottom up. Call it the "worm's-eye view" of the word, if worms had eyes, which they mostly don't.



Thus, the crabapple tree in my front yard. Some of the other trees in the yard I've seen from the bottom up, but not this one: It's not exactly well-positioned for lazy lounging. The little red dots you see here and there are the aforementioned crabapples; they'll not get much larger over the summer. I am occasionally tempted to try one of the crabapples, but I suspect that's not a good idea; they're supposed to be rather sour. I understand they can make a fine jelly, however. Hmmmm.

Grab the camera, get out and under something, and shoot from the ground up for a whole new perspective on everyday life. Then post your picture in your blog or Journal and come back here to leave a link. This entry could be fun.

  I got down as low as I could - but it had just rained and since I was working (I'm a visit nurse) I didn't think laying around the graveyard was a good idea, especially in a white uniform! http://journals.aol.com/jlester961/YarnsandTallTails/

  Did I make it in time? Lol.
  
  Well, this was such a good idea that I had to post more than one because I had some older ones I'd taken that fit well with this challenge. So here they are... thanks for the fun idea!
