Looking Up

After a long winter of mostly gray skies, we are enjoying seeing sunshine once again. Whether walking the streets of a city or hiking the trails in the mountains, it is very common to take photos looking skyward. Sometimes it is because it is the only way to capture a building in the narrow streets of major metropolises because you don’t have the opportunity to step back and take in the whole scene without turning your camera skyward. Other times, it is just the natural inclination to look up through the tops of the tree branches and see the bright blue sky beyond the green foliage. We are a little late for last week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Sky, but here are our photos for the challenge.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – Look Up

Living in Colorado, we spend a fair amount of our time looking up, watching for birds, keeping an eye out for thunderstorms, and occasionally looking out for tornadoes. So, it isn’t unusual for us to also take pictures looking up towards the magnificently blue skies.  For this week’s photo challenge, look up, we chose some pictures of Aspen trees in the mountains from last September.  The golden leaves truly stand-out against the blue background.
