From The Ground Up Day 7

King of his world...



I was walking through waist-high grasses when I spotted this guy. Without much thinking I ducked down, pointed the camera upwards at random and shot a few pictures in hope of capturing a decent shot. You judge...

From The Ground, Up

What goes up, must come down. And both the paraglider and the jet started their flight from the ground. However, the only one with the feet on the ground in this case was the photographer (aka yours truly).



Well, I'm not participating in the Skywatch project (why not, really?) but I think this shot qualifies for that category as well.

From The Ground Up is hosted by Jeremiah from My World In Pictures.

From The Ground Up, Wisteria

Oh well, the focus is not exactly where it should be but hope it's interesting enough nonetheless.

From The Ground Up, take 2

The project is hosted by JFargo and will be running for 10 consecutive days. Today is day 4 of the project.



Not the perfect shot but I like the effect... I saw the apple core by the road with an ant exploring it, put my camera on the ground and took a few random shots, this one being the most successful. I doubt you'll be able to see the ant, though, although it is there.

New project?

Ok, so there's a new project going on, one that I didn't have the intention of joining but... well, I'm still not sure how often I'll be posting but here I am with my take one on From the Ground Up photos.

A fun test

I stole the following test from one of the bloggers and thought I might give it a try. So here's my result (hmmmmm... ):-

juliana, Your Karmic Alignment is: Optimistic!

Score: 8 In general, you tend to create positive actions. You have a caring personality which gives you positive Karma. Every now and then you slip up and harvest negative Karma. But, all in all, you follow lines similar to the Monks on their way to enlightenment.

Zooming out

Oh well, I was thinking what to post for the final day of quilly's alphabet challenge. I knew I had a photo of a zebra in the zoo somewhere in my archives but that seemed too obvious a choice. I didn't have any zucchini at hand nor zinnias in the garden, and none of my family owns a Zippo.

Then I said to myself, why not try something I have never done before. So I grabbed my camera, set out on the balcony and tried zooming in on different objects. Unsurprisingly, most of the attempts failed but finally I kind of got what I wanted.

So here is my final photo of this challenge... thanks to everyone who ever stopped by this place. T'was fun.
