Looking upwards

I joined the Brenda Photo Challenge and the theme is "looking upwards."

As is my way.... I totally forgot about it until just right now. Deadline. I'm looking upwards right now and saying a prayer, because I have got sweet dick all. I feel obligated to at least post 4-5 pictures, but I mostly take pictures that don't involve anything upwards. As it is, I usually cut off the head of any subject I am taking a picture of, and I have many many pictures of my feet for lack of any attention span whatsoever! I have been weighing the alternatives of going into google and stealing some pics and calling them my own, or go through my vast database of bad pictures in hope of finding one of the sky or an airplane.

So, now that I have "told on myself".... I may as well wade in...and try to find 4-5 shots I took that don't involve my feet.

Too late




Still searching.

Okay, now that's better this a hot air balloon flying ( do they fly or just coast?") past our house. There is a funny story to go with this picture. The reason it was so low was because it ran out of gas and was making a slow descent, and landed on the highway about a mile from our house. Not only have I found "Looking Upward Pictures," I have stories to go along with them. I'm getting good at this. And no, the passengers were not hurt, but I think hitting pavement instead of a cow pasture might have caused them to seek out Chiropratic help.



Let's see what else I can find.

Hey, this is for real, I didn't steal this from Google, I took it from my deck. I can't wait for summer again.


I'm going back in..hold on to your shorts! Dammit.

Now this one was taken out my front window in spring. Apparently I look up more than I thought. It looks like the sky is on fire. Or a neighbouring home. But no, this had a better outcome than the balloon incident.

Okay, how many is that?...scrolling back...that's 3 excluding my foot picture. Weren't my slippers darling?


Okay, this the last one, and for those that know me best...will know what is to come.


ANGEL MAN!!
I just can't wash that man out of my hair.


Honestly, I see him everytime I look upwards.

I have completed my committment without cheating. Now if I could get Angel Man to come a little closer, some cheating might happen.

Nice photos but I think the slippers should be entered into some contest. They got my vote. I was catching up on my reading and now with all the laughing I have to catch my breath. You sure know how to make someone laugh.
