I started with the hydrangeas and the hanging basket. It really gave me a different perspective to lay under the flowers and take pictures. I tried some straight in to the stems and dirt shots but they came out a little too good. I don't really want to share the horrifying sights I saw of a whole new crop of weeds coming in.
And then there were the naughty fish. Any other time when I feed them they're plowing through the water with half their bodies above the surface. Today, when I'm laying at water level with a camera in my hand, they avoid me like the plague. I don't get it. Why are they so camera shy?
Ahhhhh, but then the pond from way down low.
And finally I thought the cloud bank in the background gave the illusion of a very tall flag pole with me way down below it snapping a picture. Did it work? I'm not so sure.
Now to get way down low from lots of other perspectives, visit Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry.
I love the way your pond looks from down low! But I really like the fish in image 2572a. It's cool because if you don't know it's a fish, you really have to look HARD. Nice job. I'll try to participate next week. This getting back to work stuff has been an adjustment!
ReplyDeleteI love the hydrangeas (and am wishing mine hadn't died while I was on vacation!) I also love all flag photos - taken from up high or down low.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
Ahhh! I love the fish! I'd probably waste all my time sitting out there throwing food in so I could see them come up :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, gorgeous shots! All of them. The fish shots are too cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your fish pictures...and the flag pole looks like its up above the clouds :)
ReplyDeleteI love your shy koi. And that last shot? Love it!
ReplyDeletewow those are great shots...I am way jealous of your pond now! it looks great, love the white koi trying to eat the other one in the top shot...they are so funny aren't they!
ReplyDeleteOh, nice job, Mom! Love the pond pics, I feel like I'm in the water!
ReplyDeleteYour fish shots are perfection. Great take on the subject!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Mom! I thought I loved the hanging baskets and then I got to the fish, the pond, and the flag....WOW!!! I loved them, the flag pole really did look like it was as high as an airplane! Cool!
ReplyDeleteThe fish shots are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your fish - the pond looks amazing! A couple of my neighbors have ponds with koi fish. Do you have issues with herons or other birds? They are always cursing the food chain! :D
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! those fish shots are super cool!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I love those fish and the pond is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe flag looks like it's floating! And our pond is gorgeous. And hydrangeas, well that's my FAVORITE flower - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI "tee heed" at your comment about the neighbors calling 911! ;-P
Great captures, as always, but that last shot is wonderful. That flagpole looks like it is a mile high. It definitely worked.
ReplyDeleteThe illusion with the flag pole definitely worked, very cool. I love the koi, even if they didn't cooperate fully.
ReplyDeleteThat flag pole looks like it's above the clouds and you were in an airplane flying by! And the pond is so serene from so low. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Great shots. I love the fish faces sticking out of the water.
ReplyDeleteLove those flower shots, and great job with the fish. So cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the light on the clouds of the last picture with the flag. The third picture with the fish is great too.
