Is that a Gnome From a Great Height





  

This week we're exploring, from great heights
as our theme.

Nestled like an afterthought our own backyards are often forgotten, while we're off camera in hand, shooting other landmarks occupying our city.



Before I left the house this morning, I caught some random subjects from my very own backyard.





"Drab habitation of whom? Tabernacle or Tomb - or Dome of Worm - or Porch of Gnome - or some Elf's Catacomb?"
Emily Dickinson
(Emily sent this little verse with a cocoon to her nephew.)
Isn't that a neat idea, she's got me thinking now.


"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."
Wayne W. Dyer




"Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality."
Nikos Kazantzakis







"The more I see, the less I know for sure."
John Lennon



My perception of google maps out back.




Zooming in!
(What, doesn't everyone have a Fairy Garden in their backyard?)


It's wonderful to still see morning dew on my tabletops!



How lucky I am to have such kind and cheerful group of friends stopping by, it means to the world to me.  
Just so you know every pleasantry that you leave for me is so very much appreciated! From the bottom of my heart I wish you all the best day ever.

Take Good Care of You

Is there a reason you can't kneel down? All those shots needed to be taken from way down there.

Just saying
