You Capture - Get Down Low

Beth is really making us work now, isn't she. You would think that she wouldn't want her mother laying around in the back yard with a camera in her hand. She should just be glad that I decided to give you all a break from Striebel Pond pictures otherwise the embarrassment could have been epic. This way only the neighbors saw and, I guess fortunately, didn't care enough to call 911.

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.
