Just Look Down...

This faux starfish is perched on a rock in the front garden.

There's a whole series of great photo blogs all with the extension 365.  They're one-photo-a-day posts with very little text but beautiful pictures.

The first 365 blog that I visited was Thuccotash365.  It's POD's photoblog.  She's just amazing and her photos are unbelievable (and I covet her camera).  Sherry of Nite Swimming 365 is one of the 365 bloggers.  Very creative lady.  She was POD's inspiration, I think.  I haven't taken the step, yet, but I think I will at the beginning of 2011.  Anyone who loves photography will enjoy these photo blogs. 

Pam, at Sidewalk Shoes 365 once posted a great picture of a leaf on the ground.  The composition was just right.  Her caption (paraphrased) was "...if all else fails, just look down." I thought that was good advice.  Here are some of my own  Just-Look-Down photos...thanks, Pam, for the great idea!

Visit POD and Sherry and Pam at their photoblogs.  Plus you'll find more links to others and you'll be hooked! 


A rusty chain by the side of the house...might be an anchor chain?

My version of Pam's leaf...found this on on a walk through a preserve here on the island.

I love the Just-Look-Down approach to photography.  Will be doing this a lot from now on.

NOTE:  If you're interested in having your own 365 project, the link to the original project is here

Super photos that stir the imagination. I like the strip of yellow on the center of your leaf, Cheryl, shines forward!

Dr. J, I will expect to see a Dr. J 365 blog as some point...you'll love it.

And Kittie, the great thing about photography is that it's a personal journal as well as an art form.

Great photos, Cheryl!

You take wonderful photos, and I can totally see a 365 blog in your future!

Pam...my pleasure.

Lady B...you're not so bad yourself, y'know. You should publish that tree photo that was on the card you sent with my bag. I love that picture.
