Old Buildings

Store Fronts

The Cosmic Photo Challenge asked for Old Buildings. Here are eight of mine. Some are older than others.

Ground Level

Daffodil

Photography down low If it were not for Dale’s From ground level challenge I would not have gone into my archive to find some of my “low down” photos. Here are some views of how I work at ground level. Some floral subject that the camera saw. Sometimes we have to get down to see…… Continue reading Ground Level

Last on Card – January 2025

A cardinal looking for a drink on a chilly January day. Not the best for sharpness and resolution, but that happens when you zoom out on an iPhone. A nod to bushboy for this challenge.

Looking Up

Fly-By - U.S. Navy Blue Angels

Looking up one mostly sees clouds, birds, aircraft, treetops. And two cafe art creations This post was inspired by From underneath of the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Although back in 2017 this is how far they had come up: Back then, just a few days earlier things looked like this: However, today inside, the Christmas cactus…… Continue reading Winter Bloom
