perspective



Today following along with Tracey Clark's-Blog It's All In How You Look At It ... perspective IS everything! No two people see the same thing the same way.... it's all from where each is coming from. I love Tracey's picture and didn't have to look far to find an example of my own.

Since the begining of the year I've been challenging myself in a few different ways with photography... i.e. to take an image a day for the year etc.. another is to take a picture everyday of our back yard. Here is Sunday's shot:

out my back door

As you can see this weekend was gorgeous... after a week of thunderstorms we were all more than happy to be out tending our lawns and gardens. As Sunday progressed our neighbors behind us asked us over for an evening cookout! After finally stowing the lawn mower, weed eater, and hoses back into the garage...with a cool shower reviving our tired and grungy bodies we gathered up our cut up melons and headed out the back door the short distance to their screend in back patio. I had picked up my camera on the way out. When we arrived I turned around a snapped an image of our back yard from theirs:


perspective.perspective.perspective.


While both, from each perspective, are clearly beautiful!...
WOW!!
Aren't they different?!

oh... and aren't we lucky to have such great neighbors?

season of change.....

At one time autumn was my least favorite season. I felt a sense of loss just thinking about the leaves falling to the ground. I'm not sure how much of that was due to where I lived... In the Dallas/Ft Worth area we did experience some mighty fast falls! Like one day the leaves were green (or brown depending on the summer conditions) and the next day they were on the ground! And all the trees were like giant bare sticks coming out of the ground. Or if my appreciation has just come with age... the older I get the more I would just like to slow things down. Time... seasons... years... all just go by way too fast. Living up here in Cincinnati I can't help but take notice at how beautiful this season is!!!
