The Eyes Have It

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Eyes and we couldn’t help but think about the elusive Owl Butterfly that we saw in the jungle while we were in Bolivia. Not only do you get the eye on the wing, but blue eye of the butterfly itself is pretty interesting. We were lucky that it stayed so still and even though it was the middle of the day, it felt like nighttime with the dense canopy of the rainforest over our heads. Not everyone likes insects, but this one was definitely interesting to see.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Mirror

Reflections often provide unique photo opportunities, whether playing with light or just capturing the mirror image. Probably the most common mirror image is from extremely calm water where you sometimes can’t even tell which is the water and which is the actual image. We decided to go a slightly different route for this week’s photo challenge and chose the reflection off of the window of our boat on Lake Titicaca as well as the reflection from the Cloud Gate (the “Bean”) in Chicago.

Arial Transportation

When we were in Bolivia, we loved the use of cable cars as a mode of transportation. Not only are they efficient and inexpensive, but they provide wonderful views of the city. Especially in La Paz, which is a city built into the sides of the Andes mountains, it makes sense since there is no way to build an underground subway system there. So, for this week’s Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge, we decided to share a few more photos of the cable cars in La Paz.
